I told my brother to buy this combo when it was a shell shocker combo at Newegg and he is having a hell of a time with it. I am not on site and have nothing so if anyone knows what the problem might be any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is his detailed email (he also posted on Toms I think)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mobo: Biostar H67MU3 Version 6
Ram: 4gig Gskill (2x2gig)
Controller Card: Rosewill 4 port sata 2 raid 5, Vantec 6 port raid 5 (both PCI)
CPU: CoreI3 2100 3.1gig
PSU: 750Watt Silencer
OS: Windows Home Server 2011
HD: WD, Hitachi, Samsung
I just built a new home server (whs 2011) and I want to use my drives from my old computer in my new computer (whs V1). I had them on a raid setup as redundent storage so that I could transfer from the old system to the new one.
In my old system, I was using a 4 port Rosewill Raid Controller Card running raid 5 on 4 1.5tb Samsung drives and 2 2tb Western Digital drives and a 500gig wd drive as a Pool (DE in WHS V1). I just built this new system and I have everything working but when I boot on my new system, it skips the Bios of the controller card. I thought it would be fine and booted in to windows.
WHS seen the card and needed a driver, so I installed the driver thinking that it should still be ok. But it seen only one drive and stated it needed to be formated. At first I thought the card went bad. I bought another one and thought I could rebuild the raid with the new card. I put the new Vantec card in and it still skips the bios of the new controller card.
I looked online and seen an few things to look for in the mobo's bios (Quick boot etc.) but I found none. I have wrote Biostar three times with no response and I don't know what to do. I read the manual, but it doesn't have anything about booting to a controller card. Any ideas would be great!
Thanks in advance.
