Problem out of box with P4P800 SATA Raid Controller
In the BIOS I don't have the (OnBoard VT6410 RAID Controler" to enabled)
listed in advanced and onboard device configuration. Do I need a sata drive plugged in to see this?? I also never see the controller in device manager and the intel application accelorator rai dedition refuses to install since the controller is missing. I have the latest 1014 bios installed. What am i missing? Is there a jumper on the mobo i need to set or is my sata controller shoot right out of the damn box. |

Hi, The Via Raid controller has nothing to do with SATA drives; it only works on 2 separate IDE channels. If you want SATA RAID, as I understand it, there is limited support but only from the Intel ICH5 onboard chip. The foregoing is a response to your subject line, not the text in your post. I never looked at the bios listing for the Via RAID controller before I had drives on it, so I can't comment on whether it always shows up or only when drives are installed on those channels. I can tell you that the listing for the controller in the bios is very easy to miss. I forget which screen it shows up in, but I think it is one of the subscreens of the 2nd page, under "onboard devices" or some such. You have to click on that line in order to get the subscreen that shows it, and then you have to look at it before you really are sure you saw it -- as I said, it is easy to miss. My hunch is that this option appears in the bios regardless of whether or not you have drives attached to the VIA controller. I had similar experience with the drivers you mention but in the end it never mattered. You could try reloading those drivers after you get drives on the channel if you are concerned. Good luck. ken p.s. I had bad luck with 1014. Did your board come so equipped or did you flash to it? If you flashed to it this could be contributing to your problems, although I can't say I know for sure that this bios is bad. |
