Everything on my rig is stock
shuttle sn68gs2 (Did upgrade biosto newest one on shuttles site but I just now noticed, even that one is REALLY old so Ill look for a new one)
2x 36g raptors
amd 64 x2 5400+
7900gt pcie (not installed atm, just using the onboard video for now)
ghetto cd-rom drive (by ghetto I mean IDE)
2x1gig crucial ballistix
I think this best falls into the data storage systems category, even though I think it may be something to with my motherboard. This is my first time setting up raid, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right here...
Anyways, Trying to get 2x 36g raptors running in raid 0 off the 630a chipset sata adapters. I went to the bios and set the serial ata mode to raid (other options are ide and ahci) and saved, rebooted, hit f10 and made a striped array which says it has like 36-37 gigs capacity and made them bootable. Now when I go to the windows Vista install, it doesn't recognize the drives... at all. So I copied the raid drivers from the shuttle mobo CD onto an empty floppy and popped that in. It sees the drivers and it will start installing them (this is from within the vista install page), then right as it's almost done... it BSOD's. Tried it with Windows XP also but for some reason it's not detecting the drives at all, but I don't want XP anyways.
I also tried resetting cmos and setting sata mode to AHCI. Then, the vista installer only detected 1 HDD (bios detects both), and I don't know if it finished installing because I had to leave but it was going smoothly, but I treated the install as if I had 1 hdd... no raid setup... no jbod... didn't attempt to install raid drivers or anything.
So I know everything SHOULD be working, but the bios is getting me somewhere. I gotta be missing SOMETHING. I looked in the FAQ section on shuttles site, found some useful info for other shuttles (with similar, but not the same bios). I also checked out google and used the search here and at anandtech but haven't had any luck. Oh, I did RTFM. :-D
Can anyone help me out here please? I feel stupid because everyone in my class has installed RAID w/o problems (on much nicer boards).
