What version of EZ-tune are you using? Care to email to me?
"Ackk" wrote in message ... I too had the same problem using ICHR5 and 2 Seagate 120gb SATA in RAID0 with F5 BIOS. I called Gigabyte today and the tech I spoke with said he knew what was wrong, that it was a known issue, and he emailed me BIOS ver F6k which he said wasn't on their website yet. I flashed the BIOS and now the system is solid as a rock. Also I'm now able to run the memory (Corsair 1gb TwinX 3200LL) at CAS2 (2-3-2-6). Previously it would POST but not boot at anything other than SPD (which assigned the memory CAS 2.5). Just a side note here, when I was putting this system together I had also an Asus P4C800 Deluxe and I tried both. I couldn't even get the Asus to work until I upgraded the BIOS for it. Then it worked fine. The Asus was noticeably faster than the Gigabyte but then the Asus is a bit overclocked direct from the factory. I noticed the CPU sink as well as the RAM got warm on the Asus but not on the Gigabyte. I didn't like the fact that the P4C800 Deluxe doesn't use Intel's CSA for ethernet (though I see that the P4C800-E Deluxe does), also the Asus didn't even come with a USB or Firewire bracket (these are optional). I'm very happy with the 8KNXP though I wish it had that Asus 'quickness'. I would have bought the 8KNXP Ultra as I could use the SCSI support but I figured, at almost $400.00 for a mobo, better to wait till next year for SATA II & PCI Express. Then the extra $$ for SCSI will be worth it. Gigabyte's tech support has been outstanding as I've gotten to know this board. Before I setup RAID 0 I used just 1 SATA drive and I had EasyTune4 installed. I noticed that the Northbridge fan would only work for a little while. When I called Gigabyte I found out that with EasyTune I had to set the time parameters for the Northbridge fan. I set it to turn off the fan at 23:55 and back on at 24:00. How's that for a quirk? I'm not using EasyTune anymore, it's pretty useless except for fan/temp monitoring.

Both drives appear fine on cold start but on reboot the second drive name is garbage and the system doesn't see it. Power off and on fixes it. It's annoying but can be worked around... just curious, anyone seeing this problem with drives using the SI controller or only those on the Intel controller? If anyone has been able to make this issue go away I'd love to hear how! Ben "Brad" wrote in message ... I have 2 Seagate 120gb 7200.7 SATA drives in raid on ICH5 R - and I have the same problem. The only difference is perhaps that at restart it sees the drive but instead of them appearing as ST etc as per normal they come up as corrupt descriptions like @@@@@@@@@@@6666@@ . Power off and restart fixes it. I will try tonight with my USB devices unplugged - hadn't tried that yet. I'm running 800mhz fsb cpu - enermax 420watt powersupply "Valik" wrote in message ... Bit of a long shot but could it be the power supply? I've had drives and cdrom drives go off line while in windows before but not on a gigabyte board. Bought a 550w PSU and problem hasn't reoccurred.

I've put in a SATA drive on the Silicon Images controller to boot from, and two more SATA drives in RAID 0 on the ICH5R controller. I'm running Windows XP Pro. When I boot from cold all's well, but when I restart from within Windows the RAID drives disappear every time. The BIOS doesn't even detect them. I also have a Carry internal card reader connected to one of the USB ports. When I disconnect the card reader, everything works as you would expect on restart from Windows. I've also tried with another card reader on a different USB port, and it causes the same problem, so it's not just a Carry thing. Even with the card reader installed, the RAID drives reappear again fine when I do a full shut down and reboot from cold, so the problem only happens on reboot from Windows. I've got the latest versions of Intel Application Accelerator and Chipset drivers. Can anyone else replicate this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions who to go to first for a fix? Gigabyte, Intel or Microsoft? Any suggestions welcome. Paul |
