I would like to use a Raptor as a "OS+game" master drive and a PATA 20gig Maxtor as a "storage" drive. I will also be using a DVD rom drive. I have read my manual and have tried EVERY combination I can think of without any luck. I have emailed Abit and there has been no answers in 2 weeks. I turn to you guys...
 
My advice:
1. Update to latest BIOS (1.8)
2. Enable "Enhanced mode" in the BIOS under SATA options and then "Enable RAID" just above that one.
3. Unplug the PATA hdd until you've got XP installed
4. Set boot order to first CD and Harddisk as second. Also set OnChip SATA as primary boot disk.
5. Install XP, and remember to press F6 in the beginning and give XP the SATA drivers (floppy)
6. Plug the PATA drive in when you're done... (You might wanna make sure it didn't steal the first place in the boot order)
