hi

I am trying to move all my data/OS partitions from 3 old PATA drives to 2 500GB WD Caviar SATA drives.

This is on an Asus P4PE board (with Promise 376 RAID/SATA controller chip).

RAID/SATA is enabled in BIOS & the Promise 376 driver has been installed on all OS partitions prior to the move.

My question is how do I set this up as just 2 replacement SATA drives (I don't want a RAID array) ?

The Promise chipset needs to be activated, because if I disable it, the drives don't appear in my partition utility (BootItNG) - if activated, they do & I can paste the partitions over.

But it seems to force me into the Promise RAID utility at bootup, so I have to create a stripe array.

I just want 2 non-RAID SATA drives !

Can anyone help ?

thanks

swayzak
