I'm a BIG fan of the SOYO Dragon+ MoBo. I'm now building my 6th system (I do it for some extra cash) based on the D+. My most recent box is a PACKED system with 5 IDE devices.

So, for the first time, I decided to try and fire up all for IDE connections on the board. No problems at all, WinXP is running well on the 60GB HD that I connected to the RAID IDE 3 connector.

Now, here is my question, building the box from the ground up was not a problem because of the available drivers, etc. Has any tried to move a running/active system disk from one of the standard IDE 1/2 connectors to the RAID IDE 3/4 connectors? Success or failures? What was the process?

Essentially, I would like to move my hard drive from a MASTER/SLAVE position on IDE 1/2 to a single MASTER on IDE 3/4. What do you guys think?

BTW: Like I said, I'm on my SIXTH build of a system on a Soyo Dragon+. No failures. No problems. Love the board. Every board was purchased from AccessMicro.

I'm not familiar with that particular board, but as long as you have the drivers installed for the controller you should be fine. also look in the bios and you might have to change the boot order.
