P965-DS3, ICH8 doesnt see any of my SATA!?!

[matavarium]

i just got myself a ds3, when plugging my 2 raptors or my 500gig WD in the gigabytes SATA chipset ( purple slots) everything is seen and a raid can be done with my 2 raptors.

But when trying to plug any of the hard drive in the fou yellow slots ( ICH8), the startup screen lasts for 1-2 min saying "detecting IDE Drives" then it will not see any drive, none are reconized.


Anyone had this problem?

Thank!

Do you mean that when you plug additional drives in? Or when you plug 1 of the 2 raptor drives in there?

I know for me when I installed 32 bit xp, I had to install the sata drivers when windows asks for 3rd party scsi drivers (hit F6).

Maybe you're experiencing a similar situation?

I don't think he's that far yet; He can't even get the BIOS to detect them....

In the BIOS, select Legacy mode for the SATA ports. You may need to jumper the drives to 150mb/sec.

When you say "a RAID can be done" that implies to me that you've loaded the RAID and/or AHCP drivers.

where is that legacy option for sata ports?

Hi
Have a look at Sec.2-3, pages 36-38 in the manual. See if you've "Enabled" the "Set SATA Port0~3 to operate at Native IDE mode."
Wish you luck.
