Removing RAID0 from a GA 8KNXP v2
At the moment I have a Gigabyte GA 8KNXP v2 with an ICH5R RAID 0 across two
SATA WD Raptor 36gb HDDs for OS, progs and data. I also have a single WD Caviar 250gb HDD on the Sil3112 for backup. I want to get rid of the RAID and just use the raptors as two separate drives on the ICH5R, one drive for the OS and programs and the other drive for data. I have tried various combinations of options in the bios, all of which seemed obvious but to no avail. Can anyone put me on the right track or better still lead me step by step through the conversion? |

You cannot remove raid 0 you have to clean install your o/s & programs,
setting your sys to none raid environment. Refer to your mobo manual, for none raid bios settings "Brian Griffin" wrote in message ...

Hi Oldman, although at 57 myself perhaps I should say fellow old man.
Thanks for the post, I'll investigate further and get back to you. Cheers, Brian "OldMan" wrote in message ...

You should be able to create a disk image.
Break RAID, then restore image to single disk, assuming it's on the same machine. I haven't done it with your particular chipset though. "Brian Griffin" wrote in message ...

Removing RAID0 from a GA 8KNXP v2
After several days of trial and error, I have (partially) done what I set
out to do. To break the RAID, I had to CTRL+I to enter the ICH5R RAID utility, and used this to "break" the RAID or whatever the word was. After further trial and error, I have now got XP working on one of the drives that originally formed the RAID, unfortunately this drive is now labelled "I". I have copied an image of this drive to the other former RAID drive and labelled this drive "C". I went back into the BIOS to get it to boot from drive C, but changing the drive boot sequence did not have the desired effect but just changed over the names of the drives which I had given them. The computer still boots from drive I. How do I get it to boot from drive C, which is incidentally "active"? Cheers, Brian "OldMan" wrote in message ...

You need to make the drive you want to boot from C: then do a fresh install on that drive. If you change the drive letter Windows will no longer boot.
