No nothing? or fine until RAID bit?

PSU for first, or drive jumpers and config for second.

Does it try to boot up, or does it do nothing at all? In the BIOS make sure you have the RAID set as your 1st or 2nd (after the floppy drive) boot device. On my previous PC, I had to set it to "Other." On my current PC it's set to "SCSI Adapter."

Does nothing at all ... i'm suspecicous with the modded BIOS. I'll bet thats the problem...

i can get it to boot but once i shut it off it won't go back on and i have to clear the BIOS ....

you know what .. i wonder ... i have a thoery .. i bet i need audio enabed for it to boot ... sounds stupid but i heard about it before from a friend.

thanks!

i think i had to reflash the BIOS to gigabytes version. I had a modded BIOS that had the full version of pretty much everything for RAID and whatnot.

gigabytes version is stupid. Your only option is to do it automaticly and you don't really have any options for us power users. it sucks!

if it still doesn't work after this it's (the board) getting tossed!

well ... the problem now is that it i can get it to boot up but once i shut it off it won't boot up again. I have to clear the cmos and then it boots up.

looks like RAID does not work with this motherboard!

Have you tried using both on the same channel in RAID?

Perhaps the other channel is disabled in the BIOS.

well they both work because the RAID configuration utility sees both drives.

I figured having them both on different channels would be better.

DO you know if they should both be on the same channe? ... wow thats all i gotta say is that the setup is almost done and i just started it!

raid might actually work fairly well ...

ya read the other posts .. i can get it to boot but once i turn it off it won't go back on. and i have no idea why it's doing this.

Not really. Most recommend both as master on seperate channels, but as master / slave on one channel or the other, it may eliminate other possibilities from the list.
