Got a shuttle w/ the nforce 630a/geforce 7025 chipset.
From what I read, nf6 series have major problems w/ raid, but lets pretend it doesn't because Im out of money and cant change boards ;-(
By default, the sata ports are set to emulate IDE drives.... and both drives detect fine then. When set to AHCI mode, both drives are detected but when installing vista or xp sp3, it shows one after I install drivers (which I find weird, it should see BOTH or the drives WITHOUT drivers). When set to RAID, I have to hit f10 to setup the array when booting. The array only shows 1 of the drives.... Whats up there? Anyone know if it's related to the chipset? I'm not sure if SATA uses channels, but if it does I think that could be the issue. I have 2 SATA connectors on the mobo and 2 e-sata on the backplate. Is it possible the SATA are on 1 channel and e-sata on a different channel? Basically, if thats the case, I would need 1 SATA drive and 1 e-SATA drive to run raid....
