Hey Folks,
I have a 1210SA Adaptec RAID controller that I use for my main operating system in RAID 0 with two raptors. I recently added a SATA harddrive to the system for backup purposes and plugged directly into "sata1" on my Abit AS8 motherboard. I started the system and it said "cannot boot ......." so I laughed and went into the BIOS and changed the boot priority back to PCI SLOT and not the recent SATA harddrive I put in. Well, I got past "cannot boot....." and where normally Windows XP Professional logo comes up, nothing does. Totally black. I let it sit for a good 10 minutes and didn't boot. Push the power button once and it instantly turns off (basically meaning no response).
I have an adaptec 1210sa RAID controller with RAID 0 setup as main OS. I also have a SCSI controller with SCSI harddrive. This combo works flawlessly. When I added a SATA or even an IDE harddrive, it wouldn't boot properly.
Any help? I swear i've looked everywhere in the BIOS and the boot priority, along with "boot PCI device" is set first, just as it is when I don't have the additional sata/ide harddrive plugged in.
