| Feb 25, 2012 at 23:35 | comment | added | david | @Moab with the caveat that they don't actually work and will make your primary HDD unbootable? >< | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 23:26 | comment | added | Moab | How about a link to those SSD caching instructions. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 22:52 | comment | added | david | Success... It booted. After setting the partition to active it just took a couple of runs through the automatic repair. Now I'm back to square one though. I still want to set up the SSD caching. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 22:41 | comment | added | david | Update: I used the diskpart program to set the partition as active. Now I'm getting a new set of errors. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 22:24 | comment | added | david | I haven't tried detaching the SSD yet, but I have disabled it in the boot order. I will try that next. I've deleted all the raid arrays, but the SATA controller is still set to RAID. I tried AHCI briefly but that didn't help so I set it back to RAID. (Because I believe that's what it needs to be for SRT.) I'm running the built in repair utility and it's telling me the partition table doesn't have a valid system partition, but it doesn't seem to be able to fix it. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 22:20 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | Kind of sounds like the boot device is somehow unavailable, what happens when you detach the SSD and boot without it? The commands you mentioned (fixboot and fixmbr, right?) should work, if not then there might be something else wrong... Maybe related to your RAID settings? | |
