Raid 0 issues with gigabyte-965p-ds3

Has anyone got raid 0 to work with this board yet?

Contacted Gigabyte about it and received this reply:

"Please double check the drives and cables and swap out to test also check the RAID array and rebuild if necessary. What make of HDD are you using?

You might want to check the temperature for the CPU, M/B chipset or the VGA card to see if it's too hot.
For the hardware, causes could be the memory, CPU or the M/B most of the time. You will need to remove the components one at a time to find out which one is causing it."

Windows installs fine it just wont boot, I get a blue screen.

My setup is the following

cpu: E6300 core 2 duo
ram: 2gb gskill pc6400 dual ram
vga: radeon x1900 xt
hard drive: 2 samsung spinpoint's 4002H

Any ideas lads, this is driving me insane? :mad:

How do I set up a raid array when I use the Intel sockets?

When I use the intel sockets the ctrl-g option to configure them doesint appear :confused:

Just found out my mobo uses ICH8 not ICH8 r so no raid support for me, ffs.

So I take it there's no work around to get raid working with the JBmicron?

No, I mean that I can install windows fully but when I reboot the final time to access the new install, i get the blue screen.

What do you mean get Windows on first, the mess with it?

I was under the impression you cant make a raid 0 array after Windows was installed.

got it working

Finally got it working.

This should work with XP and server 2003.

Setup your raid array via the JBmicron, go to the bios and select the fail-safe defaults option on the main screen in the bios.

Disable any USB support, Disable parallel port, disable onboard audio and disable any other stuff you think you wont need for the install.
I kept the serial ports enabled to use a standard mouse and keyboard for the install.

It should now work fine,after it's installed go and enable what you need in the bios.

Boot up Windows..........

I'm thinking it has to be an IRQ conflict during install, who knows????

Thanks lads for your input, much appreciated.
