So finally got my 2500k setup on a regular P8P67 board. I had two sata hard drives, both plugged into sata2 Intel ports and one booting. The other drive... I just bought an identical one thinking I'll mirror it for data. Got the mirroring set up, then tried to boot to win7 64 bit. bluescreens and the repair was unsuccessful.
Plugged in my boot drive to my Marvell Sata3 port and things are good.
Question is, why did I have to do that when Intel's RAID BIOS gave the option to specify drives as non-raid as well as raid? I suspect it has to do with the ICH controller presenting itself to Windows as something different when RAID is enabled in the ASUS BIOS.
So... If and when I get an SSD, am I stuck on the Marvell controller as long as I'm doing raid?
Thanks...
