Hi all, I have a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR motherboard with NVIDIA onboard RAID and SILICON ONBOARD RAID, On the SIlicon Raid i have 2 300gb drives using RAID 0 and 2 74gb Raptors on RAID 0 (boot drive), On the NVIDIA RAID i have 4 200gb drives (3 IDE and 1 SATA) that are Setup as a RAID 5, Now i also have one of those XFX revo 64 cards with 5 200gb hdd's running in RAID 3.

The problem i am getting is that when i enable the RAID 5 on the NVIDIA RAID for some reason my Revo card will not work, As soon as i turn of the RAID 5 and it is working again.

Any idea's?
 
o.k. now i have most f it working, It seems that the NVRAID is conflicting with my XFX REvo RAID 3 card as when i enable RAID on the onboard NVRAID controller the computer will not see the XFX RAID 3 card at all (not in its bios or windows) but as soon as i turn off NVRAID and just keep the drives as seperates it all works fine.

I have no idea why this is happening, Do you think it is due to both XFX and NVIDIA using similar RAID controllers?

Any idea's
