XP loading screen 30sec prob

daveccc · 10 Dec 2006 at 21:10

Hello done a fresh install on a new build

dfi infinity nf4 socket 939
venice 3200
2x512ocz ddr
geforce 7900
2 sata drives in raid 0
1sata drive

all works fine once in windows all fly etc no probs

problem is when booting the computer and you get to the xp loading screen with the scrolling bar it waits 30 sec before seems to do anything, is same amount of time everythime. so i jsut its waiting or checking for something etc, seems like there be a simple setting somewhere or its a known prob

anything to do with raid 0??

removed lan cable, no difference, didnt think it was this as it did it straght away after install when lan wasnt even plugged i.

disablle ncq in windows no difference, i rekon its def something to do with sata raid,

ill boot vis and get back

only thing i can think of is that im using sata ports 3 and 4 for the raid 0

but aint formatting now or can i just move them across to 1 and 2 ?? will it keep my data etc

daveccc · 12 Dec 2006 at 20:24

daveccc · 12 Dec 2006 at 20:33

daveccc · 12 Dec 2006 at 21:37
