    HI,

    I am trying to replace a harddrive unit #1 on my alienware M17x. After I installed it and booted, I get message that the 128mb raid0 strip failed and not bootable. On the new harddrive, the message says not member of raid, which is wrong. Furthermore, I can't boot into windows. How can I diagnose and fix this? Is there a pin on the new harddrive I need to pull out? Thanks.
