Q: K8V - using SATA boot drive with PATA RAID attached

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi,

I'm trying to use the following configuration:

- Asus K8V, BIOS 1006
- WD 120GB drive attached at secondary IDE master
- DVD attached at primary IDE master
- WD 120GB drive attached as single unit RAID array attached at PATA
IDE 1
- Maxtor 200GB SATA attached at SATA1 (boot drive with Win2000)

Problem is that as soon as I connect the drive to the PATA RAID atapter
the SATA drive is not recognized by BIOS and I cannot activate it as
boot drive.

When I disconnect the PATA drive from the Fastrak adapter or disable
the PATA Promise adapter all is well, but I cannot access the PATA
drive

I could connect the second WD as slave to one of the "normal" IDE
ports, but I wanted to use all the drive as single/master configuration
on separate ports. So, does anyone know how to do it? Are there
limitation in the possible combinations of SATA/PATA-RAID/IDE?

Thx in advance

Markus.
