WD360 + Intel 875PBZ + XP Problem
I have installed two Western Digital Raptor 36GB drives on a test machine.
They connected via Serial ATA cables to an Intel 875PBZ motherboard. Intel RAID is enabled. I have setup a RAID 0 array with 128Kb stripe. Basically, I go through this sequence: a) XP boots off the CD drive b) I press F6 to specify third-party storage drivers c) XP installs a few files d) XP asks for the storage drivers, I insert the Intel RAID driver disk e) I then specify an 8GB drive to install XP on (out of the total of 67GBs available) f) XP formats the disk, then installs its files g) XP then wants to reboot At this point I'm having the trouble. Once the system reboots, the Intel RAID information screen shows then the regular BIOS information is shown, then (without the XP CD in the drive), I get: "A disc error has occurred Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart" ?! I'm baffled. If I destroy the array and go into the BIOS then specify the IDE type as Legacy (instead of Enhanced, then select SATA P0/P1 + PATA Primary (instead of "Intel RAID enabled"), XP will successfully install fine, on the single drive of course. So installing XP with RAID setup, fails to boot. Installing XP on a single drive, works. This exact same setup worked fine with two Seagate Serial ATA 120GB drives I used to have. So the only difference is the drives, but what in the drives would stop RAID array from working/booting? Any ideas? @drian. |
