    i just recently purchased 2 SATA HDDS for my comp that has not previously had SATA installed. I was able to set up raid fine, and even get bios to recognize the raid in boot order. My problem is that i used norton ghost 14 to copy my original HDD to my new Raid set up. When i boot the original hdd and the raid together i have 2 options of installed windows versions to choose from; one is from the original hdd, and one is from the raid. When i choose the raid windows, the my original hdd is still listed as the system hdd and the raid is listed as the boot hdd. when i unplug the original hdd and just have the raid for boot up. Windows wont load. Did i miss something in the cloning process?

    Since you can't have two C drives in the same system, you need to remove the original drive after the clone.
