the silicon controller on the asus a8n sli is RAID only. And I wanna be able to use my 2 drives as individual drives on that controller and I thought that JBOD would do it. I do not suppose on a RAID only controller there is any way to configure it so I can have 2 independent discs? The Nforce 4...
the Asus SLI Deluxe/Premium DOES NOT let you plug in drives into the silicon ports and just boot up. It just doesnt work. Its like it can only work as RAID. When I plug in my drives to the silicon image ports I get an error on the silicon image bios boot screen. And then my PC refuses to boot...
Ok I got a Asus Premium A8N-SLI board with 4 discs currently. I am not running RAID or anything and they run of the nforce4 controller. I wanted to use 2 of the drives on the RAID 5 Silicon controller the board has, However since it is raid I gotta create a RAID set then choose JBOD. I was...
if I can really upgrade the bios of the si controller any idea what to search for in google or any clues as to where I might be able to locate it? Thanks for your help so far dude I really appreciate it
how can the serial ata controller only be setup for Raid? That just seems retarded as hell. I remember I had a IC7-Max 3 board before this and I was pretty sure I ran serial ata drives in regular mode on its red connectors which where not the intel onchip connectors and I am sure it had the same...
wanderer I actually did that but then once i boot into windows I do not see the drives. Plus where do I confirm that the drives have been detected by the bios? You know the screen that comes up after the asus splash screen showing the slilicon screen with crtl+s, well when you disable silicon in...
ok how the bloody hell do I use serial ata dvd-drives or single harddrives on the red siil serial ports. when I enable the silicon controller in the bios and plug in any drives (dvd or hd, NONRAID) my PC does not boot into windows and the bootup screen for the silicon shows the drives listed but...
hmm, ok when I disable it in the bios then where are the drives that it detects listed in the bios. Also once I boot to windows I do not see any of the drives that I plugged into the red serial ports.
thanks ALOT! wow, its not very intuitive is it? I thought disabling that would disable those ports completely. I guess thats why it was giving those errors because it expected to see pairs of drives right? Again thanks!
well I dont know how to set JBOD as I am only trying to use one drive and I do not see any option for setting JBOD in the bios when I press Ctrl+S, thanks for replying, could u explain further how I set JBOD as I am not trying to do RAID or anything, I jsut want to use my drives on those ports...
Ok I got 3 PCs with Asus A8N SLI Premiun motherboards and they all run flawlessly. However I would like to run one of my harddrives on the RED silicon serial ata ports instead of the BLACK Nforce 4 SATA ports. However no matter what serial ata drive on each of my pcs the boot screen for the...
Ok just got a Amd dual core CPU on windows xp pro. I see there is an option under the windows task manager under properties for the listed properties for cpu affinity and it helps in setting a specific cpu for a specific app. problem is once the app closes and I start it again the app is back to...
