    Hey, I recieved my new hard drive toda (successfully installed no problems) Enabled raid 0 using the guide in the all powerful m17x threads, and after i restarted I get this message. I am really lost as to what to do and how to fix this (the correct dvd is inside the M17x but it is not reading it) is there anyway to fix this or am I stuck?

    Please help I know I am new here but I really need the help.

    EDIT: Further explanation. I basically followed the raid procedure perfectly and after i was told to turn it off the M17x and come back on all I get is this message everytime. I really hope there is something I can do.

    Ok, so I restored the settings to factory through bios and it randomly ejected the cd. So that is one problem solved. Now should I risk putting the cd back in and trying again or is there something guarenteed I can do?

    not sure if this helps.. you might want to go to the bios screen and check if the boot order of your device is set with the DVD drive higher then the harddisk.
