so i'm trying to setup a RAID 1 mirror using IDE HDs
I've configured my BIOS correctly (although I notice the drives do not appear under the "Standard CMOS Features" menu on my bios)
I've configured the RAID array correctly (the array is detected on boot up)
I've inserted my WinXP CD to...
I installed the new RAM and I can get it to boot when not using raid.
but i cant get to the bios screen once the raid setting has been turned on.
plus I cant get to the raid setup screen, it just tries to detect a raid array
i guess this is now a mobo prob. :rolleyes:
I'm :confused:
This is the RAM
It's PC 2100 which I thought meant it ran at 133MHz, but the spec sheet seyz 266 MHz
This is the mobo
Biostar NF325-A7, compatible with DDR 333/400

fine but i still need to get the data off the old drive onto the new. will making a one hd drive stripe array remove all the info?
the old == 175 gb the new == 160 gb so copying the old is not possible
ok so I have 3 drives, one with existing data (that I want to keep) and two identical new hds.
This is the setup i want:
old hd is the boot hd, with the old information kept on it
the 2 new hds act as a data repository (moved from old hd when all is said and done), thus i would like to...
so when i connect my slave hd to the ide, the pc fails to boot (nothing is recognized on the entire cable). it gives 2 warning whines (they sound like whines) and then stalls.
with only the master attached everything is fine.
im trying another cable and ide slot, but im not keeping any...
