Please log in for more thread options I posted a similar topic back in August this year but had other issues with the hard drive and was never able to successfully install it. I have since had the drive replaced by Western Digital, so now I want to install it again on my PC but I am still having a problem doing this. I have an Asus P4S8X motherboard (about 3 years old) with 2 SATA connections. I currently have installed a primary IDE 200GB harddrive (with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed) and a secondary IDE 80GB HD that acts as a backup drive. The new drive is a 200GB SATA drive that I now want to instal as a backup drive. I have tried methods outlined in my previous post as follows but it still will not boot-up. These are the settings I have used and the messages I receive: 1. BIOS settings: a. Under Advanced/PCI Config I have enabled "Onboard ATA Device" and selected "No" for "Onboard ATA Device First". b. Boot order is Floppy then IDE Drive then DVD-RW then INT18 Device 2. When I first boot up I went to CTRL-F and selected "Auto". It set the new drive to Array 1 / Stripe and it reads as Functional. The boot-up screen shows the RAID Mode as "1+0 Stripe". 3. The boot-up then stops with a warning "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt : "System32/Drivers/ntfs.sys". Is the PC trying to boot from this new drive even with the BIOS settings in 1 above? 4. I then disconnect the SATA drive and boot up normally under the IDE drive. Under Device Manager the RAID/SCII drives are correctly installed and recognized by Windows. Any ideas how I can get this drive installed correctly? regards PeterH | |||||||||||||||||||

Don't know but ATA is dif to SATA. By saying no to ATA just where do you expect it to find the sys? >I posted a similar topic back in August this year but had other issues with

You say you want the drive for backup. That means it's not a bootable drive. But you say it won't boot? It shouldn't. Then you say your have a RAID 0+1 set. Where? You can't RAID un-alike drives. I've never heard of mixing an IDE and a SATA drive in a RAID. Maybe I'm missing something, but if SATA is enabled, you merely format the drive and plug it in. Windows will show the new drive in My Computer. If the SATA is part of a RAID setup, you'll need to install the RAID drivers | |||||||||||||||||||
