Ok, I bought an Epox 4BDA2+ with the highpoint raid controller. I am not planning to run raid with my computer, but I read that you can use the raid slots as extra channels. So lets say if you have two cd roms and two hard drives, then can all be on their individual channel with the jumper on them set to master.
I was wondering then how you would set this up. Do you put the two cdroms and hard drives as master and go into the bios and set it up before you install anything? Or do you have to install xp then install raid drivers and use it from there. I know windows asks for scsi drivers before it goes into setup, would you install the drivers then? I am wondering before I put it together.... thanks
