P4C800E-D Intel RAID and Promise RAID
Hi,
I've been running a RAID 0 for the past year on the Promise controller. Now I want to switch over to the Intel controller due to the Promise controller is starting to get flaky. I understand what to physically do, but Windows XP recognizes the Southbridge chip as 82801EB and not as what is etched upon the chip - 82801ER. I've tried to reinstall the correct drivers but it defaults to the EB chip. About a year ago I vaguely remember talking to Intel about this. What they said is when you run from the Promise controller you get the EB chip displayed. When using the Intel chip you get the ER chip displayed. Does this make sense?? Lately, installing the correct drivers gives me an error that the chipset is not compatible with the drivers. I plan on connecting the two SATA hds to the Intel SATA connectors on the motherboard, create a new RAID 0 with the Intel utility, reinstall Windows XP and load the correct Intel drivers. If I do this will the southbridge chip be correctly identified as 82801ER? Will IAA install? Would it be better to use Intel website drivers rather than Asus drivers? Has anyone RMA'd ASUS?? How long does it take to get your board back? |
