Please log in for more thread options Help appreciated, my comp. MB Abit IC7-Max3 Ram Corsair twinx 512 Processor P4 3.0 E 800mhz FSB HDD WD 40GB (IDE), HDD WD 120GB x 2 (Sata) OS Window 2000 pro (primary), and winXp pro PSU 450watt I'm trying to setup a RAID system (my first) on the SIL3114 RAID controller (onboard myMB) ... I have the 120's setup on SATA 1 and 2 (could this be a problem) ... I've managed to get the Intel RAID controller to work after changing some setting in the BIOS but I'm trying to use the SIL3114 RAID controller as I've read on a number of threads that it is faster. The problem is when I try to start the program to create the raid sets by pushing F4 or CTRL S during boot up, I get the message that says No Devices Found. Utillity Disabled, Press any key to continue ... I don't understand why this is as the uitility can start with the Intel controller and it can detect the hard disk drives just fine. Should I update my BIOS or drivers or is there another utility to use with the SIL3114 RAID controller. Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome. Jerry. | |||||||||||||
