I will KA266-r problems
This is a discussion about I will KA266-r problems in the Windows Hardware category; I'm having problems with my new system, particularly the new motherboard. The main problem is that I cannot boot from the buitt in raid controller even though the drives are recognised at boot time. I also have a promise ATA 100 pci card that the system cannot boot from.
I'm having problems with my new system, particularly the new motherboard. The main problem is that I cannot boot from the buitt in raid controller even though the drives are recognised at boot time. I also have a promise ATA 100 pci card that the system cannot boot from. I have tried setting the bios to boot from SCSI and RAID100 but the board seems to ignore any of these settings and boot from the normal IDE channels. Both of these devices are recognised in windows, it's just that they cannot be booted from.
Please help!!

sound like you bios
hmm thats odd so your saying you did enable the first boot device as the raid controller correct? And its still not working?
do you have a proper boot sector installed on the drives that are hanging on the raid controller? I mean if you totally unhook the normal ide channel drives will it THEN boot off the raid controller? or does it give u a NON-SYSTEM-DISK error?
if it gives you the above error that means you dont have a boot sector installed on that drive u want to boot off of.

OP
Don't worry, I've cured the probem now. It turned out that one of the hard disks doesn't work properly. The raid controller was able to recognise the drive, but when used on it's own, the drive just keeps crashing when I format it.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
