O.K. Setting up my first raid (first new computer I'm putting together in 5 years). It booted first time (actually even connected all the led's in the correct polarity).
Got an Asus P4B-E. I have two seagate barracuda 250 gig sata drives.
I wanted to use the intel chip (...8r) for the raid controller (avoiding the problems I heard about this jmicron conrtoller).
I set bios to raid (chooses were ide, raid and achi ... don't know what achi stands for).
I hit F6 when loading windows and loaded drivers off floppy (drives came with motherboard).
I keep getting error saying didn't find mass storage devices.
I set the bios to achi (again don't know what this is), did the F6 and floppy and then windows started right into start-up.
What do I need to do?
Shouldn't the bios be set to Raid?
Should I flash the bios and get the newest drives off the web?
Can I set the bios to achi and still use raid drives?????
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks .... Mike
