I have a Soyo Dragon Plus! (KT266A chipset) and I'm trying to configure a RAID 0 array with two new Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (40 GB) HDs (using onboard Promise controller). I was able to create the array without problems, but I just can't make it bootable. The manual says that to make an array bootable I just have to enter my RAID BIOS (Promise Fasttrak100 Lite) and select option <3>, "Define array"; Well, what is strange is that for me menu option <3> is "View array configuration", I was able to create my array only by using option <1>, "Auto config";
I think that the manual is a bit nonsense, because its shows a picture of promise's BIOS menu exactly as mine, with option 3 as "View configuration"; I know that this may sound strange, but I tried everything until now and I can't see a way to make my array bootable. I followed all manual recomendations (selected SCSI as first boot device, set boot order to SCSI/ATA-RAID, set RAID jumper, etc...) and searched Internet, without success;
Any help appreciated, thanks!
