Hi,

I have a IC7 Max3 motherboard and need some help with the RAID setup.

Have one IDE disc which I will be using for windows, and have installed two
identical SATA 120Gb disc which I want to use in RAID1 mode(mirror). With
this i mean mirror of eachother, not windows disc.
How do I go about setrting this up, can't seem to get these to work without
loosing the IDE disc for booting.

Have the IDE disc in the IDE1 slot, and the two SATA discs in SATA1 and
SATA2

Regards,
Tony

the key is the boot priority setting, personal opinion. if boot priority is
set to add-in device and then below that, the add-in devices is set to
onchip SATA, then that is going to tell the system to boot to the ONCHIP
SATA device. if I am off base, there is a walk-though on the Abit forums
for getting the SATA raid set up and you may be able to use information in
that to figure how NOT to set the boot priority.
