Dear All.
hi,

When i restart system it showing hard disk as raid sata raid 298 gb but did not shows in ide in booting & not even in Bios. At last i delete all raid & install normal setup without raid configuration, i mark one thing that is my old hard disk did not have NCQ & newer has had. will this issue is conflicting & creating problem.

To be honest I really don't understand everything you tried to say. Are you in the process of trying to install Windows XP? Not Vista, correct? It seems like you haven't installed the proper SATA/RAID drivers but I could be wrong if I've misunderstood the nature of the problem.

If so, make a SATA/RAID driver floppy diskette from the motherboard CD according to the instructions in the motherboard manual. If you don't have the motherboard CD and/or the motherboard manual, download the drivers or manual from the Gigabyte website. If you don't have a floppy drive, borrow or buy one to make life easier for yourself. At the very beginning of Windows installation you will get a message to install third party drivers by pressing F6. Do so. An alternative is to slipstream Windows and the drivers onto one CD. Google for the procedure on how to do so.

Also, you will need to install Windows with a PATA CD drive in XP.

Dear, i already did all process of creating sata/raid drive floppy from motherboard cd & even i create the latest version of sata raid floopy by intel,i notice one thing after pressing f6 & upgrading sata raid from floppy it directly try to start setup process & then error appear, i think after raiding the softwear one last screen appear to for proceeding windows xp. after restart in Bios there is no hard disk only after boot when Ctrl-i warning appear for raiding there it show 2 hard disk & after one raiding hard disk with double of size.
I think it raid properly but there is problem arises when f6 process going on.
i want to know is NCQ & without NCQ hard disk is Ok? orr it creating problem.
Waiting for reply.
Thanks for your respond.
