Clevo D900T problem with 100GB harddisks.
Good evening all,
A few days ago I upgraded my Clevo D900T notebook with some new harddisks. The computer originally came with two 80GB Sata harddisks, which can be configured as "normal" Sata drives (which gives you two 80GB drives) or as a Raid1 drive (which gives you one 160GB drive). Since I installed the 100GB drives, Windows doesn't recognize them anymore when using the "Sata-mode". It does work perfectly though in "Raid1-mode". This is not really a bad thing, since Windows runs fine and smoothly in this configuration. However, I also wanted to try out Linux. Since it is not possible (with the 2.6 kernel) to install Linux on the drive in "Raid1 mode", I need to put the computer in "Sata mode". Linux does recognize the 100GB drives, but like I said previously Windows XP doesn't recognize the drives (also not when using the Promise Sata drivers which came with the notebook). Does somebody know why Windows XP doesn't recognize the 100GB drives in normal Sata mode, while it did recognize the 80GB drives perfectly? Thanks, Erwin |

Thanks, Erwin Do you have access to a Raid configuration page? If so try deleting the array...backing up all your data first, of course. -- "I don't cheat to survive. I cheat to LIVE!!" - Alceryes |
