Circaflex Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Well ive tried the guides, tried nlite, tried those programs, and i just cant get it and i started from scratch, whats the best method? Has anyone else added raid drivers for this motherboard? Could you send me the files or upload them? Or walk me through it? From asus's site it says this board uses Promise 20378 RAID controller anyone got any help/tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syntax_13 Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I have been trying this myself for about a year now, non of the methods/packs that are posted here seem to work on this board (P4C800 Deluxe, not the -E- version).During textmode install the drivers are loaded and the harddisks are recognised.GUI-mode install also works, but when Windows wants to boot for the first time after that, it crashes because of the missing drivers (it displays the Windows logo screen for one second and then resets the pc).When i connect that drive to the motherboard (ICH5 chipset) connector it normally boots to windows without problems. After manually installing the Promise drivers, and connecting the drive back to the Promise controller, it works normally without resets.All methods result in this problem.Is there anyone with this board that got it to work in sata of raid mode?

Astalavista Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 ME! I hv a Asus P4C800 E Deluxe no problem here.Circaflexshow me your winnt.sifand READ this....http://www.techsupportforum.com/archive/in...php/t-9888.htmluse the intel controller for the OS. performance gain may be minimal on either of them, but stick with the chipsets RAID first. RAID 0 is pretty fast, make sure you got 2 similar drives for any performance gain. id use the other controller (promise) with a RAID 1 or RAID 5 setup for redundancy of data.
