I started to configure a RAID 5 with 3 barracuda 400GB sata drives, ICH8R raid controller on a asus pb5 mobo.
I configured the 3 drives fine then realized that I needed to make a floppy for the drive controller. I turned off the machine.
When i went back in i brought up the intel menu again and now the first sata drive is labeled as DEGRADED.
I wasnt sure what that meant but i went and loaded the driver and then attempted to load windows xp. The xp setup sits at 0% formatting.
I turned off again and went into the bios. Now it is listing the first sata drive as not detected.
What is going on here???????
