Hello everyone,
thank you for your attention.
I got serious problem recently.
I just start pc normally as i do everytime,but it wouldn't start.
The problem is window cant start,because it cant find any harddrive.
I have motherboard of VIA/MSI.
The problem is shown when pressed 'TAB',it says something like warning type message-"Raid-the number of disks are not adequate."

Reset BIOS and disable RAID if you were not using RAID before the problem started?

I havnt changed anything.
And the Raid is default in use.
And how do i reset Bios.?
Is it necessary,or anything hardware problem internal.?
As i told i normaly start pc & the problem is occured unexpendently.
I think the problem is for Raid,
as i told,it says warning msg- raid.The no. Of disk is not adequate.
Thanks for ur reply

Remove the CMOS battery that is on the motherboard.

How many HDDs do you have?
Did you setup RAID before on your PC?

Remove the CMOS battery that is on the motherboard.

stay for 4-5 minutes (don't turn on PC)

Insert the battery again and BIOS will be reset

Another method is to go to BIOS setup and load default settings.

Is it risky?
Bcoz i never done it before.
And no i never changed any raid settings.
And why it happend at once,i just started it after 1hr.
(I hate this,
wht happens sometime to these things suddenly.)
i will try to reset or load settings.
But why it happend suddenly i cant understand.

not at all risky. Try it out and let me know.
