I have an AV49PN motherboard, this board has a VIA SATA RAID
controller on it. I am considering getting a SATA drive, but thought I
would check out a few things first.
First question...
In the boot sequence I see things like "network", "IDE-1", "BBS-0",
but no mention of SATA, RAID, or anything else which seems to
logically link to booting off of a SATA drive on this mobo. Which
setting points to the SATA controller??? YES, I have looked a the
manual - and the manual is useless, all it tells me are the options
available! not one damn word about what the options actually mean or
do!
Secondly, a freind of mine was unable to use Norton Ghost to copy info
from an existing drive onto a SATA on a different motherboard because
the SATA controller was a RAID controller! Has anyone tried this with
the AV49??? Will I be able to use Ghost to copy my IDE disk onto the
SATA disk?? I would really like to know before I invest in a hard
drive I wont be able to return!
All comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks
