REMOVE RAID SYSTEM FROM PACKING PRO HOW TO
Ron-I spent half the night trying to figure out how to get xp installed on the new drive, which is a WD Raptor. Does anybody out there have any ideas or advice? I have tried to enter the utility to disable RAID by pressing CTRL+I when the Dell flash screen comes up during POST, but all I get is a beep and then the system continues to load. I'm pretty sure this system is running in RAID mode, and that this is what is causing these problems. I would like to format the 160gb drive and remove all data on it, but I can't boot without it being connected, and can't format with it connected. If I have both drives connected, I can boot to either Pro or Media center. If I disconnect the 36gb drive, I can boot just fine to XP media center. If I disconnect the 160GB drive, I get an error message (NTDLR missing) when I try to boot from the WD. I have changed settings in the BIOS numerous times and tried a number of different configurations, all to no avail. The problem I am having is that I can't seem to operate these as separate drives. The factory installed 160GB (SATA0) drive (which had XP Media Center installed) is going to be a separate (Non-RAID) drive used for storage of. I added a WD Raptor 36GB (SATA1) and installed XP Pro on it and would like to use this as my boot drive. I am trying to disable the RAID configuration on my new 9100 and have not been able to figure out how to do so.
