Hi All,
I have two Samsung 80GB HDDs attached to SATA1 and SATA2 of an Abit IC7-G motherboard. These are set up as a RAID0 array...
When installing W2K to the array, everything goes fine up to the point where the OS wants to do its first reboot and where it goes from running off the CD to running of the HDD. At this point I get the error message:
A disk read error occured
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I am at the point where I am about to throw the whole PC out the window. If I treat the two HDDs as separate devices (ie disable RAID0) then everything is fine and I get a good install to either drive. Hence the problem is with the ICH5R and not the HDDs. Now given that I brought this motherboard precisely so I could use a RAID0 array on the ICH5R and not have it suffer from PCI bandwidth bottleneck problems it is an understatement to say that I am not very happy.
Can anyone suggest *anything* before I have to disassemble my brand new PC and RMA the motherboard?
