If I build it, will it run? - Page 21

StevieRay · May 21st, 2008

Thanks again, that worked Hitman. So should I go Raid 0 then?

**Hitman** · May 21st, 2008

Nope same problem, your only option is Spanning or JBOD, and I don't suggest either. Just run them separate, thats your best and safest option. Oh and you should note, configuring RAID will wipe out your drives.

I selected Raid in the bios when I first started up. I double checked and it is still listing raid for the sata set up. Can I go back and change it to ACHI or IDE?

I thought this would be easier. I also can not find the second hard drive in the device manager either. Also not listed under explore. What did I do now?

Ok, but it did show up under computer management. It is listed as unallocated.

If anyone can direct me to a good way to set up hard drives!

If it is a brand new drive, you have to initialize it. Right click on the drive in computer management and tell it to initialize or format (or something) the drive so it can become usable by Windows.

Thanks Blake. When I right click on it in disk management it offers me the option of New Simple Volume...nothing else.

That should do it?

Very nice looking rig you have!! And excellent job putting it together.

BTW, "CPU INIT" means CPU Initialization.

Thanks for the pics!!!!

So did that do the trick to get your hard drive workin'?
Nice setup though, I like that nifty little POST code LCD thinger! Could you please resize your pics down to 800x600 or less? Thanks!
