sgshao Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi,I've been searching but no answer yet, hope your experts could give me some hints. Here is my question. Recently, I bought a cheap IDE ATA133-R raid card(it is using Silicon 0680a chips.) for my old P-III desktop (mobo is Gigabyte GA-6VX7-4X). Following the user manual, I had my card installed and connected my two old HDs to it. I gave a full fresh XP installation. I could catch the "F3" screen and setup RAID 0 array. I also got F6while XP installation prompt for third party SCSI drivers, it was accepted correctly as "Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Controller". After the whole installation, the system asked for a reboot. But it NEVER come back then. I mean it always showing the Windows XP welcome logo with the small scrolling bar rolling forever.Well, I thought it might be something wrong of my installation. But I did it twice for XP installtion and once for Windows 2000 with the same stupid starting problem. I thought it might be wrong with my harddisk, but they are OK. I thought it might be the raid card driver, so I downloaded the latest one directly from Silicon website reinstall it, but the problem still. Also, there is only one way I could get my XP started is to disconnect HDs from the RAID card (no drivers on it now). The windows runs flawlessly and I checked control pannel -> system, the card is installed properly. So WHAT IS THE PROBLEM is my question, pls help me. Thanks for your time.

I kind of not sure it is an operating system problem or hardware problem. Whatever, there must be an expert like you could give some hints on this. So could you tell me where it should belong to?
