well the computer was supposed to come with the hard drives stripped together (that is a raid drive, correct?). I've been have trouble with the computer and as I was going through the BIOS it had a RAID section and it showed both my hard drives and said "no" next to each of them. So i'm thinking that if the OS was loaded in RAID and then somehow it got turned off then that might be why Windows won't load. So I was just trying to figure out how to make sure they are running together.
