Hello
I have a Gigabyte Ga-ga8knxp mobo. In the bios, on the cpu frequency and voltage menu. It said that SATA drives are sensitive to the CPU voltage and frequency. So there might be a possiblity of losing one or both SATA drives when one changes the cpu frequency or voltage. For that reason, is it better to install the O.S. in reqular IDE drive non raid or am I being just paranoid?
I was messing around the bios, I pressed ctrl+F1 and a "Top Performance" menu popped up. Clicked on the sub-menu I clicked on "Enabled". Went to boot up windows but I just got a blank screen. I reversed everything but now one of the drives in Raid was "missing or error occured" in the Intel Raid set up menu. So now I'm in the process of reinstalling XP. Thanks for the reply.
Here's my overall system.
