Hmmm, well I tried to extract the bin and it seemed to do absolutely nothing.

Let me explain what Im trying to do overall....

I have a VIA VT6421 RAID Controller and I want to be able to boot a hard drive from it. I have the driver disk that came with it, but I also came across file 6421v431.rom which was for older raid cards to incorporate it into the main bios for booting. After reading numerous forums and advice, nothing has worked as far as being able to flash the MOBO bios with the PCI Raid controller drivers also... to be bootable.

Any suggestions?

I know its a garbage MOBO, but for now, I am trying to make this work until I can get a better MOBO. I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to boot from the PCI Raid card with proper tinkering...

Thanks

Is this motherboard the Compaq version, becuase there's a retail version and theres a version that came in compaq computers. this makes a huge differance, because the current bios if its the compaq version, to my understanding doesnt support raid boot. However the retail version does
