I found the answer:

Removed all other disc drives.

I suspect it was to do with the starting of the RAID drivers vs IDE, even
though I was feeding the correct RAID drivers in during repair, it must not
have been starting them early enough to see the RAID volume. The bios
settings were and are still correct.

Hi,
After trying to install a dual boot with Windows 2003 server today, my
original Windows XP has disappeared. The Windows 2003 install was to another
disc drive and failed.

The XP boot option is in the boot menu, but spontaneously reboots.

I have tried to do a repair with both an XP SP1 CD and a slipstreamed SP2 CD
(the install was SP2). In both cases the repair options do not list the XP
on "C:" drive. I already had a dual boot onto another disc drive for XP and
that is what is running now...

The original C drive is become "D:"....

What to do? The drive looks perfectly normal in this alternate boot,
boot.ini looks OK, ntldr is there, Windows folder is there... it just
doesn't work or get listed in repair....

Ta.
