Can't boot Windows 7 without DVD in drive

Is there a hotfix for this?  It's related to this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/64f729b6-d796-4030-82d9-3fe5a44b0180

If you go to www.google.com and search using the phrase "Windows 7 won't boot without dvd" you'll see that others have this problem too.

I have 2 Raptor hard drives in a RAID-0 array.
I have a third internal 1.5 terabyte hard drive.

The 1.5 terabyte (C:\) HD is for my Win7 OS & my programs.
The RAID-0 array (D:\) is for my games. (RAID-0 is for fast loading performance)

I think it recognized one of the RAID-0 drives as the "first hard drive attached to my motherboard" and somehow Windows 7 put the boot loader info on that hard drive, instead of my 1.5 terabyte C: drive with Windows 7.  As a result, Windows 7 won't boot unless I have the DVD in the drive. 

I tried the option to boot from the DVD, repair my computer, and from the command prompt do a "bootrec /rebuildbcd" but that failed.  So the only fix I see is to PHYSICALLY disconnect the 2 RAID-0 drives, and then do a full install of Windows 7 again.  What a royal pain-in-the-____.  My motherboard is an ASUS P6T.   Any hotfix in the works???
