Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Do you mean a floppy with 3112r drivers, so you can install Windows XP on harddisks connected to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owyn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 erm.. no.Just want a boot disk like win98. And when I arrive under the MS DOS, I want to see my SATA HDD.So I think I need the DOS drivers for si3112r... but not sure theses drivers exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyridean Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'd wonder if any DOS would support SATA hard drives....you may have to go with a more modern system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrip5 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi! Your SATA controller works as every other raid P-ATA or S-ATA raidcontroler. If your drive is formatted with a FAT which your dos can read, you will have classical HDD drive letters assignment. You don't need a "dos" driver. The raid controler works then in a sort of native mode - your can even use fdisk with it or even format your raid drive. The only importan,t thing is to use a quite actual dos/fdisk/format which recognize the big size of your aray (i propose the dos from windows me bootdisk).Please note that the sil 3112 raid controle is quite slow in dos mode - the performance of the intel ich 5r is much better.Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
