Not booting from a RAID Serial ATA setup
Just switched to that new ASUS P4G8X mobo. It has a RAID controller and serial ATA hookups. So I decided to splurge on a RAID setup of two serial ATA harddrives.
Well, got it all hooked up and everything seemed fine. Got the RAID array set up ok. XP installed. Then I realized I was booting from my CDROM drive rather than the RAID drive. Went to the BIOS to switch the boot sequence, but I can't find a selection for the RAID array. It only lists the normal IDE choices (primary, secondary, etc.). So anyone have any idea? Anyone else have this problem recently? |

Try setting it to boot from SCSI.

Thanks Cricket, that works. As does booting from the "network device." Is there a difference between chosing "network device" or "scsi"?

Yeah, booting from the network device is for diskless workstations that do everything from a server.

Yeah, I know that. But chosing that manages to get my system to boot from the RAID device, just like the "scsi" selection. I'm a bit mystified why ASUS would chose to set up their bios this way and not have a seperate selection for a RAID boot.
So I guess my question is: Since I don't have either "scsi" or "network device," is there a difference in which one I chose? |

SCSI is what you would choose. I haven't dealt with serial ATA yet, but if it's anything like the add in controller cards, the system sees anything that isn't using the IDE controllers onboard as SCSI.
