Hi,
I just upgraded my RAID array (HPT 372 on BD7II-RAID) with two new disks. Now I am trying to put one of the old disks on the primary IDE controller while still booting off the RAID controller.
Well, when I do this, not only is the array not bootable but it also does not show up to the OS as being an available fixed disk. I verified this with FDISK. Only the drive on the primary controller shows up. As soon as I unplug the old disk, wham! XP boot like a charm.
I've verified the boot order is correct in the BIOS, in fact the onboard controllers aren't even listed in the boot order.
I have also forced an ESCD update to no avail.
Any ideas?
