Have you tried to find out what "Error 2" means?

In UNIX OS' there is no such thing as a "Drive C:", that's just a Microsoft designation for the first partition on the first HDD, not a singular HDD

/dev/hdg2

Are hde and hdg the two IDE devices you use for your RAID? Have you configured the hardware RAID? Or is it a "hardware" RAID that has to be configured by the OS?

How did you get to the shell? Rescue system? What was mounted on /target at that time? And chroot only changes the directory that applications see as '/', nothing else. It won't boot your system for you.
