[QUOTE="finrudd341, post: 244944, member: 68408"] [b]Setting up RAID1[/b] OK, so Windows XP is installed on an 80GB partition of the 160GB drive, and the two 1TB drives are formated. I have tried using the Asus application to setup RAID1 on the two 1TB drives, but it does not seem to like it - as soon as I change the SATA config from IDE to RAID, the system fails to boot. Slightly odd...anyone got any ideas as to what the problem might be please? RAID still not working, but I am not too worried about this at the moment, as I have not transferred any media yet. I managed to totally nanny the XP install. To cut a long story short, it installed Windows on drive H - most readers here will probably say 'ah, he forgot to disable the 5-in-1 card reader before running the XP installation..' - yeah - I know that now. I then made matters worse by changing the drive letter allocation for the H drive back to C, against all good advice from those clever chaps at Microsoft...bad move. I am now going to flatten the drive, disconnect the card reader, and re-install from scratch. On a positive note - I was really dissapointed with the noise the whole thing made - until I ran the fan setup app that comes with the motherboard - problem solved. This really is near silent, and so far is running very cool too. I will have to read up on how Asus does the RAID setup in more detail - it seems dependent on having a floppy drive. Now that I do know about - in fact I have some blank 5.25 floppy disks around somewhere - I take it this is what they mean?? Seriously though - do we really still have to use these things?? I will dig a USB version out from work I guess..:wtf: [/QUOTE]
