Well Jan .. your MB was strange to me so I had to look it up. What a nice
board.

Since the PDC20276 will not give you what want, please consider the
HighPoint RocketRAID 133
It will handle RAID 0+1.

The mother board manual indicated that you can boot from this add-on board.

As I am sure you know, setting up the controller is done at boot time. After
the BIOS looks at your VGA BIOS it finds and executes the RAID BIOS. You
enter and set-up the 1+0. Some how you must partition and format the drives.
That is o/s dependent.
The HighPoint manual is good.

Hello,

I have a GA-7DPXDW-P MB and was wondering if is it possible to "upgrade"
the RAID on this MB to enable full RAID 0+1 configuration. I have 4 120GB
disks that I'd like to mirror and stripe, giving me fast 240GB of mirrored
disk.

I have been searching round the net and found something that might be of
help. On http://www.anycities.com/user/treiber/ there's a link to "20276
2.00.0.28 Full Raid" Promise ROM. I presume this is what I need, but I am
not sure how to actually burn the changed ROM.

I understand German, so I will read through the
http://lumberjacker.kettenfett.com/ (from where the link originates) and
hope to find more information there, but
I was wondering it anyone here has preformed this operation on this board.
Any hints, tips, pointers to information or a review of the procedure will
be very much appreciated.

Cheers, Jan
