SATA Drives and Raid
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 875P Motherboard 8KNXP GIGABYTE This is the motherboard I have. I have two Western Digital Serial ATA hard drives. 10,000RPM WD Raptor 74gigabytes. set up as one 132.47Gb Disk Striping (RAID 0) This has WIN XP on it. The drives are working just fine. they are hooked up to ATA0_SII / SATA1_SII (Serial Connector) Chipset Sil3112 "this is two drives" This is all working good. I want to hook up One more drive to SATA0_SB (Serial ATA Connector) chipset ICH5R Its a 120Gb Serial ATA Hard drive. How do I set up the BIOS I have the driver ready on a floppy. Windows does not see it. win only see the two 74. I have looked in Administrative Tools.----------- Disk Management does NOT see it at all.......But I do see the other drive(C partition Healthy (System), cd-rom (E and dvd (D. BUT NO 120gb hard drive. The Serial ATA0 Connector (Controlled by ICH5R) ICH5R This is the chip set that I have. |
