Thanks in advance for any ideas - this should be a great system if I
can get the Raptor to be seen by XP!
I have a Giga-byte K8N Ultra-9 with F5 BIOS and a new 74GB Raptor. I'm
trying to install XP on the single Raptor on a Silcon Image 3114 SATA
port.
Beore trying to install, you need to go into the 3114 BIOS and define
your single hard drive as a JBOD. Also, the mobo BIOS should have an
entry for hard disk boot order and you should see the JBOD created by
the 3114; it's called SCSI-0 SiI JBOD (about). I do see the Raptor in
the mobo BIOS under hard disk boot order. When booting off of the
SATA1 ports controlled by the Silicon Image 3114 controller you then
need to use the Gigabyte CD to make a driver floppy by selecting
"SiI3114 Raid5" and using that floopy with F6 during the XP isntall,
which I did.
The mobo BIOS sees the Raptor JBOD as a SCSI drive. I boot off the XP
CD and hit F6 and specify my floppy driver disk for the 3114. I hit
enter to continue, more drivers load, and then the system does a soft
reboot.
I suppose that I've got a BIOS setting issue so I've tried a lot of
things, like disabling SATA/RAID, different drivers from Silicon
Image's web site, even a different XP boot CD.
Any ideas? I've followed Giga-Byte's manuals to a tee and tried the
most common suggestion of disabling the SATA/RAID setting in the mobo
BIOS.
Thanks,
Jim
