Wot is this IDE drive's connection mode to the MOBO Note that IDE drives can be connected using SATA PATA FIREWIRE, USB interfaces. They can also be hard drives, CD's DVD's (R, RW and RAM)
And - presumably emulations within memory stick devices etc. Re the not using RAID - if the RAID is hardware then agreed, that's a BIOS setting. Windows install addresses the drive and partitions on it The hardware should be managing the RAID drives (note not individual partitions) according to the RAID mode specified. Windows 'RAID' is done at 'partition' level, so you could, within windows have 3 drives, (2 small, and 1 large) and separately specify raid 0, or 1 to for the partitions on the smaller drives to use the partitions on the larger drive as their partner locations.

I'm having problems with a Gigabyte board now with a SCSI installed getting it to boot up with a SATA drive installed. It has an IDE drive with OS on it too. But there isn't anyone on this list that has had a problem like this. > > On Sun, 26 Mar 2006 00:05:48 -0500 > Wayne Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > At 05:02 PM 3/25/2006, Hugh Gundersen typed: > > >Did the floppy thing - still no install??? > > > > The system bios shows both the nVidia & SIL Sata controllers enabled > > then the nVidia's raid bios shows no drives then the SIL's Raid bios > > showed 2 drives which I had previously configured as Raid 0 then the > > system booted the install cd so I pressed F6 while I had the prepared > > floppy disk in the drive & the install found the driver completing > > the Xp Pro install to the SIL SATA RAID 0 as if it was a single drive. > > > > > > ----------+---------- > > Wayne D.
