I am having trouble getting the RocketRaid 404 card to work with my motherboard. I have an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard with two Raptor drives in a raid-0 array using Nvidia's raid setup. When I check the Nvidia raid setup during boot up, it shows both Raptor drives as the boot device. However, when I add the RocketRaid card to my system and add a drive to the card, I cannot boot into Windows. Apparently, the RocketRaid card picks the drive attached to it as a boot drive which stops the boot process since there is no OS on that drive. I have gone into the BIOS and put the Nvidia stripe as the first item in the boot list and the RocketRaid as the last item but this results in the same error. If I check on the Nvidia array during boot up, the Raptors status under boot is "N/A". So, adding the card changes the status of the Raptors from boot to N/A. I am able to boot into Windows if I have the card installed and no drives connected to it, but as soon as I try to add one drive I get the no OS error. Is there a way to disable the RocketRaid cards ability to boot from drives connected to it? Or is there another workaround you can suggest? I do not need the raid abilities of the RocketRaid card; I merely need it to mount some older IDE drives so I can access them.
