one last gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H question

I have 3 SATA drives and I want to run 1 as the system drive and the other 2
in RAID0. I set the BIOS to RAID mode then I can go into the RAID controller
and set the first drive into JBOD mode as a single drive then set the other
2 into RAID0 and the controller shows everything as healthy. But when I
reboot the system will go to the windows XP splash screen then reboots in an
endless loop... even in safe mode. I don't see any other steps in the
manual... did I miss something?

Here's the stop code I get:


stop: 0x0000007b (0xba4c3524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

You can look up STOP codes here.

http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

So something is confused about where the boot volume is.

According to the manual, you should be able to configure SATA
connectors 4 and 5(eSATA) as IDE, while configuring SATA connectors 0
- 3 as RAID. So connect the single drive to SATA4, and the two RAID
drives to SATA0 and 1. Set the bios to boot from the drive on SATA4.
