I have put together my new PC, relevant spec as follows:
Gigabyte GA P35C-DS3R
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
2 x 250 Gb Samsung SP2504C SpinPoint (RAID)
Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM
I have plugged the drives in as follows:
In the BIOS, I have set the following:
BIOS > Integrated Peripherals > SATA RAID/AHCI Mode (Intel ICH9R Southbridge) > RAID
BIOS > Integrated Peripherals > SATA Port0-3 Native Mode (Intel ICH9R Southbridge) > Enabled
BIOS > Integrated Peripherals > Onboard SATA/IDE Device (GIGABYTE SATA2 Chip) > Disabled **Nothing plugged into it**
I've then setup the RAID stripe in the Intel menu that appears.
When I try to install XP, I press F6 to install the drivers (from Gigabyte's site) and select "Intel (R) ICH9 SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH9R)" as mentioned in the manual.
XP setup continues to load a few files and the says "Setup is starting Windows" followed by a BSOD with the following code: "*** STOP: 0x0000007B....."
I have tried the disabling RAID and everything works fine.
I have tried the Gigabyte RAID controller (plugging the drives into the pink sockets instead) and everything works fine.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Do the hard drives have to be on a different controller to the DVD drive when using RAID?
I'm at a loss, any help much appreciated.
