Maleko Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Ok, so Ive finally set up my Raid on my ASUS A7N8X Deluxe boardRAID0 with x2 WD 80GBSet the RAID up no probs.Also in my system I hae installed a Multi IO card, ith USB's, one IDE channel, and one SATA channel.On the SATA channel i have my old 200GB WD attached (which was my old main drive)Now, when i connect the 200GB to the IO card, after it detects, and tries to boot from cdrom, it freezs...Disconnect the drive from the IO card and it boots to windows set-up no probs.So, faulty IO card? yet it does detect the drive on sata detection.Or does my system not support 3 SATA drives???Any ideas?
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 The number of drives supported is directly related to the number of SATA channels you have. So if you have two on your motherboard and then put in an add-in card with another four SATA channels then the total number your system can support is 6.Does the system POST but hangs trying to start Windows Setup? Also, who is the manufacturer of the Multi-IO card. I never really cared for cards like that because the usually mean cheap parts...and by "cheap" I mean substandard.
Maleko Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 The card is:http://www.siig.com/product.asp?catid=17&pid=477The system posts fine, goes to boot from cdrom and then freezes doesnt even say press any key to boot from cdromNow, heres the thing i've found out.I took the card out, and it all worked, booted into windows set up no probs (havin probs with setup, in nLITE forums! lol)Im hoping that wen windows is installed i can put the card back in and it will work...im guessing its a conflict during setup boot.
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Im hoping that wen windows is installed i can put the card back in and it will work...im guessing its a conflict during setup boot.I've had that happen before. More than likely it will work. Even if it doesn't at least you can get your system installed and then troubleshoot the problem afterwards. Edited March 24, 2006 by nmX.Memnoch
Maleko Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 Yeh, i had problems with the card wen i first had it, i had to change the boot sequence from SATA, SCSI, to SCSI, SATAWeird, loljust gtta get my widnows install workign now!
