Hi guys,
I am kinda stumped here. I currently have 3 IDE Hard drives installed using the P4P800 Deluxe mobo. The first HD is used to run the OS and is connected to the primary IDE connection. I have set up a RAID 1 with the other two drives on the same cable (One Master, One Slave) off the PRI_RAID1 connection. The problem I am experiencing is that the system will not recognize the first HD on every other bootup and is trying to boot to the RAID 1 setup every other time. So basically, upon first bootup, it boots to the first drive with the OS isntalled on it. On the second bootup, it cannot dectect the first hard drive and looks at the RAID 1 drives to boot from, and so on and so on. I have messed around with every RAID configuration in the BIOS and still experiencing the same bootup problem. I currently have the RAIDed drives disconnected but would like to get it going again for my backups. Any recommendations as what I can do to fix this problem? Is it even possible for me to have this type of setup (One drive with OS and two other drives setup with RAID 1 for backup)? Any help would be appreciated...thanks!
