I have no OS yet, trying to setup a RAID, and all I have is the PXE boot agent. How do I fix this?

Last Update: 2010/08/01

Issue:

There is a bug with the second boot screen, since the system is still trying to boot and PXE is active it will not pass this point to allow you to set up the raid. 

It will not go past because boot other device is trying to boot from LAN, if you do not have something setup to resolve DHCP during post, it will loop/stick there indefinitly.

Solution:

Go into BIOS - Advanced BIOS Features - Set boot priority to:

1st Boot Device - CDROM

2nd Boot Device - Hard Disk

3rd Boot Device - Disabled

Boot Other Device - Disabled

Press F10, select yes to Save and Exit, after initial post screen, you can go into the RAID manager and build your array.
