8KNXP, How to boot from SATA if PATA present?
Hi,
I have a PATA drive connected to IDE0 master, and one SATA connected to ICH5R, SATA 0. Both have a bootable W2K partition and boot well if only on is present. But if both drives are connected the pc alway boots from the PATA drive. How can I change that? I set OnChip SATA manual, to SATA0, Raid disabled,. onboard GigaRAID and Onboard SATA disabled. Bottorder1. floppy, 2. cdrom, 3 HDD-0. There seems to be no SATA in the bootorder, not even a SATA-RAID or PATA-Raid. Any ideas? TIA - Klaus |

Try setting "SATA Port0 Configure as" to IDE Pri. Master. I find that
if it is set to SATA Port0 my SATA HD does not get detected. klausa2 wrote: Hi, I have a PATA drive connected to IDE0 master, and one SATA connected to ICH5R, SATA 0.

The 8KNXP seems quite quirky to set up if you want to boot off the
SATA and also have drives plugged into IDE1. The solution saying to set "SATA Port0 Configure as" to IDE Pri. Master might work, but you will run into problems if you then actually want to use the Primary IDE connector later. One thing you are going to need to do is set "SATA RAID Function" to Enabled (even if you're not doing RAID). I've also found that until Windows has the SATA drivers installed in Windows, it won't boot off an SATA drive unless you have nothing plugged into IDE1. I just went through this last night so maybe some of this will help. Note: I don't use RAID at all. Drives in my system: 200GB SATA drive in SATA channel 1 (Boot drive) 80GB PATA drive in IDE1 Master 40GB PATA drive in IDE1 Slave DVD ATAPI drive in IDE2 Master CD ATAPI drive in IDE2 Slave 18 GB PATA drive in IDE3 Master Zip PATA drive in IDE4 Master BIOS: (F6) On-Chip Primary PCI IDE = Enabled On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE = Enabled On-Chip SATA = Manual SATA Port0 Configure as = SATA Port0 SATA RAID Function = Enabled Onboard H/W SATA = Enabled Serial ATA function = Base GigaRaid Function = ATA Notes: * While installing windows XP, I must unplug the IDE1 cable otherwise the SATA drive will not be seen. This is true even if I install the ICH drivers off a floppy using F6 during install, and even though the BIOS reports all the drives just fine. After Windows is installed and the drivers installed off the Gigabyte CD, I can then plug IDE1 back in and everything is just hunky-dory. Dave Michael Len wrote in message . cable.rogers.com...

Yep, the secret is to enable the SATA RAID, then you can choose it in the
boot order. I installed the O/S with the SATA drivers loaded in the install process - I don't know if you can add them in later - you probably can. Remapping the SATA to be a PATA is not the best idea as you lose connectivity for 2 PATA drives. I have 2 120G SATA drives, 1 DVD on IDE0, 1 CD on IDE1 and an old 40G drive on the ITE IDE ports. I found it was most reliable if all RAIDs were enabled, then set SATA RAID to boot first. I've got F5 BIOS - haven't yet dared to upgrade to F6 - machine boots correctly 95% of the time.

Thanks from me too - this had been bugging me for some time.
BTW: bios f6 does seem good. This news group has gone silent about many issues on 8knxp since it was released. - Tim "Taliska" wrote in message ...

TIA - Klaus I have 1 SATA drive (Set up as SATA0), and Four PATA on the GigaRAiD channel plus 3 CD/DVD devices on the normal IDE. I eventually got it to boot by using the SATAA connectors (The hot pluggable ones) and removing SCSI from the boot option. I also had to install drivers for the SATA while it was being used as "IDE3" initially - however I set the assignment back to AUTO afterwards. .. |
