I have just got this board i was hoping to setup a IDE Raid Array, after reading the manual it says connect 1 hard drive to IDE RAID 1 and 1 hard drive to IDE RAID 2, am i missing something or did Asus forget to add a second IDE RAID port? all i have is a blue RAID 1 connector on the edge of the board when i connect both hard drives to that connector it only sees 1 drive not them both? there is no RAID 2 so how do i configure a raid array using IDE?

the only way i can see is to get a paralel to Serial converter and connect both drives to the Serial ATA ports for RAID it was nice to get 2 serial cables with the board but they could of included an converter like Abit

obviously i dont want any more exspense really so can you have IDE RAID on this board and if so how?

Thanks in advance

Some of the new Asus boards have RAID Serial ATA controllers, so that's likely what you would need to use.

If ignorance is bliss, then why is everyone so miserable?
