I don't find any advice from a user named philo in this thread. The first
post you made that appears in my newsreader software is a complaint.

I have advice from other users to run FIXMBR. I have users indicating I
may need to adjust boot.ini and some advice on how to examine the partition
table. I don't have any post explaining any procedure that would
automatically recreate or adjust boot.ini. Maybe you need to repost
something.



I did not post any complaints other than trying to figure out why you
just did not take the advice you were given and fix your MBR.
It is totally obvious you are not using s software RAID
and as I clearly stated ...if you cloned your "simple volume"
installation to a RAID it will be impossible to boot as boot.ini will
have no reference to the RAID signature


If you boot from your XP cd and go to the repair console
all you'd have to do is issue the command fixboot or possibly fixmbr

or else follow the link I gave you for other methods to rebuild your
boot configuration...

At any rate it would have been a simple enough process
but my first suggestion to perform a repair install might have been the
simplest way to go if you are not comfortable using the repair console.
(It would have taken a longer time though)


Now I know you wanted to manually edit your boot.ini file...
and that's a reasonable enough question...but honestly
I do not know how Windows assigns the RAID signature but I can tell you
it is not intuitive. Once you do it and have a look you'll see wht
