RAID problem with old PC in new case

[Toxin]

About three weeks ago I took out all my old parts out of my case to installed my new parts that I got. I packed all the old parts away so that I could transplant them into a new case that I was gonna buy.

So this weekend I got the new case and re-installed all my old parts into it. CPU, mobo, RAM, G-card, HDDs and PSU. Exactly the same parts only in a different case. Nothing else changed, just the case. Started the PC up went into BIOS and made sure that everything was setup like it was supposed to which it was. Restarted the PC but it doesn't want to go into windows.

I'm running two 80Gig SATA2 drives in RAID0. It picks up the RAID setup no problem. A healthy 149.9Gig RAID setup which Win XP is installed on. But it just doesn't want to boot. Boot devices are setup correctly there as well. I can even select the RAID array in the Boot Device Priority menu in the BIOS.

What's going on?

PS: What I've done so far is check the BIOS config thoroughly. Tried switching the HDDs to be on different SATA ports.

well im not sure about your board but i think some boards are sensitive to changing the ports but i doubt that very much

run a repair and see scart, this is why i stopped using raid to many problems and then you have to redo everything

when it loads up everything just before winxp slide bar what does it say?

just one question this raid was setup on the same mobo right?

ARE ALL FOUR sataports enabled i remember my old asus deluxe board for amd had a thing where i could disable and enable each sata port and if sata my raid on sata 1 and 3 and 1 was enabled and 3 was disable it wouldnt boot

Yip setup and runned on the same mobo. Like I said I basically just took out all the parts and put it into a new case.

Can't remember what the thing says when it starts up. I'll try a repair today and see if that works.

check that the drives in the same positions on the cables

make sure the drives are physically in the same order. Drive A is where drive A was, and drive b where drive b was. Some controllers only load the boot info on drive A, and not drive B. It uses the Sector zero on drive B for RAID "headers". Not common, but found on some controllers. Just swap there position in the RAID. May or may help. I may just be sniffing up a gum tree though!
