hi paul
u know i want only sata , no raid
my HD's are connected to sata 1 (red) =>master
sata 3 (black) => slave
they are not connected to sataraid slots
in my window manager of peripherals i have that
! Mass storage control !=problem
ITE 8212 ata raid controller installed
In my support Cd of MB asus i have installed that :
-intel chip
-C média
-gigabit ethernet driver
-ITE 8212 driver application
-silicon image sata driver
so how have sata , only configured ?
and how have no problem (mass storage control) in my manager of
péripherals ?
tia Paul for ur answers and good help
Section 4.3.6 of the manual:
Configure SATA as [Standard IDE]
Onboard IDE Operate Mode [Enhanced]
Enhanced mode support on [S-ATA]
What this does, it make the SATA drives look like ordinary
IDE drives. If you do a fresh install of Win2K or WinXP,
then no custom drivers will be necessary to see your SATA
disks. You should not need to press F6 during the install
of Windows, with that setting.
I would recommend at a minimum, that you install the
"intel chipset" drivers, as they allow the hardware on
the motherboard to be enumerated properly. For onboard
sound, install Cmedia. To use the Ethernet, install
the gigabit ethernet driver.
You can always disable the ITE8212 and the SIL3114R
if you aren't using them. That will reduce the
time wasted during POST (power on self test). See
section 4.4.6 of the manual and set:
ITE8212F Controller [Disabled]
Silicon Image Controller [Disabled]
The "mass storage" message could be due to something
you have plugged into a USB port ? Perhaps a USB
card reader, or a USB hard drive ? Normally Windows
would give a driver for that, I would think. Maybe if
you have installed the "Intel chipset" drivers, that
problem will resolve itself.
HTH,
Paul
