Specifications:
Intel E6600
11 x Hard Drives.. all SATA except one.
1 x ALI Sata Controller Card 2 Port
1 x Sunix Pci-Express Sata Controller Card 2 Port
TWIN2XP2048-6400C4
2 x Asus 7600 GT
Enermax 620 Watt PSU
Bios 1103
Nforce 9.53 Drivers

Setup the OS with Raid 0 on Sata Ports 5 and 6. 2 x Seagte 120 GB's.Windows installed perfectly. Boots with no problems. Added another Raid 0 to Sata port 3 and 4. 2 x Seagate 250 GBS. Plugged in my 2 other SATA drives to 1 and 3 sata ports. PC Boots perfectly, installed drivers for Ali Sata Controller Card. Shut Down. Plugged in 2 x 250 GB Seagate Sata's to the Ali controller card.. Hard Drives are detected. However i am not using that ali card for raid just stricly for single drive access. Windows boots perfectly.. and i can access all my connected drives.

Plugged in Sunix PCI-Express SATA Controller Card.. installed drivers. ALso only using this card for single drive access non raid. Device appears to be functioning correctly, checked via Device Manager. Shut down pc, plugged in 2 x 320 GB Seagate Hard Drives to the Sunix PCI-Express Controller card. Turned on pc, ALI Controller Card appears as normal with the connected 2 x 250 GBG drives, the Sunix Controller Card sees the 2 x 320 GB drives.. but at this point i get a get an error saying "Vendor ID mismatch..." my Nvidia Raid doesnt appear.. and my pc tries to boot off one of my controller cards.

Rebooted pc, went into Bios to check that my boot drive is still my nvida raid.. and behold the raid isnt there. It seemed to me at this point that the board doesnt like having 2 x controller cards in it.. so i removed the ali controller card.. same problem. It seems that the board doesnt like the sunix chipset. No matter what i have tried if i have the Sunix card in my pc the raid array is kicked out.. will not load.

Can any on help me with this.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
