I gave up waiting and went with a vanilla A8N-E. I don't think it's ever going to see the light of day.

I also gave up and got an DFI LANPARTY UT Ultra-D.

This site didn't even include the A8N-E in the Nforce 4 Ultra roundup:

It probably wasn't feature rich enough- if only ASUS had brought out the A8N-E Premium...

Sigh. Oh well, I'm happy with my A8N-E- just wish it had Firewire.

Last I checked, Newegg has still dropped the A8N-E. Weird that.

Hi Everyone,

I just got Asus A8N Sli Premium and install 2 seagate 200 NCQ in raid 1.

My problem is that I set with F10 on boot this 2 disk in raid. But in windows I see 2 drives in disk manager...and I have yellow ! in device manager for this 2 drives...Nforce 6.66 installed.

Someone have any ideas of this @#$%^ stuff ?

thanks !

Are you plugged into the nForce SATA ports, or the Silicon Image controller's SATA ports. This could be your problem, but not sure. You'll probably want to use the ones on the nForce4, since you don't need the driver on floppy to boot (i.e., native support).

Hi again,

I use correct controller, correct setting in the bios. At startup, I press F10 to enter in nvidia raid utility and create my raid with the 2 drives. After I reboot, at detection it said raid...Healty. But in windows, I'm supposed to see 1 drive in disk manager but i see the 2 disk and curioustly, device manager see 2 disk ? But supposed to see just 1 device...

If someone have ideas it will help but for the moment i will use si3114 controler and put my wd74 on port 0 of nvidia.

What does the drive look like when in "My Computer?" It may show up as two drives in device manager, because, there ARE two drives. Do you have two drive letters, or just one?

ÉÉ

finally I found it, the 2 drives have drivers to install (on the cd in nvidia, chipset, ide)
it detect Nvidia Nforce raid class controller, 1 time for the controller itseft, but also to the 2 raid disk. After, I just see 1 device in disk manager.

Thanks geogecko !

Long life to Nvidia and AMD !
