This is my son's setup. I have absolutely no experience with SATA or Raid.
What he told me is that the drive he wants to hook up to the Intel chipset
was originally created on the SI chipset. Windows can't see the drive when
hooked up to the Intel chipset. The board apparently has 2 RAID
chipsets.....SI and Intel. Can they both be used at the same time? I would
appreciate the expertise of the group on this.

Thank you
