Re: windows restarting
I don't have the answer reguarding the PC problem. Just a suggestion from experience .... it would be cheaper to buy a new PC than get a divorce. LOL.
Guessing that your problem with moving the operating system hard drive from the controller card to IDE may have caused a problem with the master boot record (MBR) file. Hopefully someone with experience with controller cards will read this and have some input.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Re: windows restarting
There could be several reasons, but I agree with the previous post that your MBR may have changed. Put your system back to its original configuration and boot from your XP CD. Select Repair and go to the Control Console. Log in as Administrator. When you're logged in and back at the command prompt, run "fixboot" and "fixmbr". Remove the CD and restart your computer.
Just as an aside, why were you running a single drive from the RAID controller?Comment
