I had a nicely running system with my gigabyte motherboard and a single
ide drive. I re-allocated my ide drive to another system and purchased
2 IBM Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 250GB Serial ATA drives.
I configured them as a single raid 0 drive: Configs fine.
I installed windows xp media edition on there (had to do a f6 install
to add the driver, as expected), all seemed to go well.
My issue is now when I am trying to boot the system for the first time
without using the cd-rom. If I have no cd in the drive, I just get a
message saying cd-boot and nothing happens.
I have SATA selected for my first bios option (scsi/sata/raid)
and I have cdrom as first boot, and hdd-0 as second.
my cd drive is primary master, no other ide devices. I disabled the
ide raid setup and the second ide controller.
I also tried several different options and nothing seems to work.
I updated the bios to the latest for my board (f5).
Any ideas ?? Does this just not work ??
Gigabyte GA-8INXP motherboard revision 1.0, BIOS F5
Intel 3.06 P4 with Hyperthreading
1 Gig Corsair DDRAM TWINX1024-3200LLPT (2 sticks of 512 each)
ATI Radeon 9700pro
Sony DVD Burner
Thanks so much for any help!
