GA-8INXP - SATA-Raid while PATA is present
Hello!
My Problem!! I Installed a Raid Array on the onboard sata controller! For this i used 2 160GB Samsung drives! I created the array in the controllerbios and installed the drivers in my on a PATA installed Win XP! Now I could use the Raid Array (formating/partitioning/Writing/reading)! The next step was to install a XP version on the serial ATA Raid array! So i startet XP setup. installed the onboard controller driver (pressing F6) and started the installation! After formating the drive/partition and copying the XP-files on the drive a restart was made by the setup! Now the system stuck when the boot menu should appear! The errormessage was in german and sounds like this: There is an IDE configuration error! From this i was unable to start my old OS on PATA! I had to rescue it by running XP Setup again! Now the Boot menu was there again and i could start XP on PATA! next i tried to change the bios settings - without succes! I tried this FAQ: http://global.giga-byte.com/Motherbo...AQ/FAQ_383.htm without success! I tried the latest driver from Gigabytewebsite: No success! So i disabled the IDE controller of my old OS-device in bios! Now the new installation of XP on SATA Raid proceed and i could start win XP on SATA Raid! but how to use the old PATA drive now??? I enabled the IDE controller again, but the SATA Raid wasn´t booting! I tried everything - but no success! So plz help me! What can I do to USE MY SATA RAID while PATA is present????? Sorry for ma bad english! Zippo |
