Re: Help - PC won't boot
You could have tried the XP recovery console 'fixboot' or 'fixmbr' but you'd still have needed a floppy with the RAID drivers on it, otherwise you could have tried Acronis' other utility, 'Acronis recovery expert'. Just fixed a PC with a similar problem, the primary partition had misteriously deleted itself, managed to recover that but the MBR was corrupt so have to manually edit the sectors (no utitlity seemed to be able to fix it) got the PC back to life with no loss of data at all. It was a pain though, wasn't just a RAID array but was on SATA too, which half the recovery tools can't cope with!
