I've just finnished my new build using the above board, all has gone well until I've tried to install the OS.
I've got two Samsung SATA 80Gigs and one Samsung SATA 400Gig drive all connected to the SATA headers, one 80gig is set in one of the master sockets and the other is in the slave and the 400gig is in a master socket.
I've set the two 80gig drives as Raid 1, I've set all the settings in the BIOS as per the book, I then created the raid, when I'm installing XP it cant see the drives as RAID and tells me there is no hard drive installed, yet when I just set the drives as IDE it sees them and installs the OS.
I can remember a few years ago that some boards came with RAID drivers on a floppy drive and all you had to do was press F6 during setup and then just pop the disc in when prompted as floppy discs are a thing of the past I didn't get any with the board.
Has anyone suffered the same problem and how do I get out of it
Thanks in advance
