Manu1001 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Hello. First of all, sorry for my poor english. I have a SCSI SAS RAID Adaptec 4805 board (PCI-Express x8). This board need to run the SLI mode activated (to make the 8x active in the second PCI-X slot). But I have no choice to do this with my board, so... the RAID card is not recognized and XP starts slooooooowly. Any clue? Thanks a lot from Spain.

Oceanborn Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Did you go into the BIOS to mofify the Pciex lanes eetup to 8x 4x n/a 8x ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu1001 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I just tried it... The computer have restarted, the screen was in VGA resolution (so, something is made), but start is slow yet, and the Adaptec is not recognized at all... :sad: I am thinking about selling all the stuff and forget it. :mad: Manu1oo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

function8 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 question: how did u install windows? what drives are attached? where are the drives with windows attached? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu1001 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 It's not a driver issue. The whole system goes sloooow when the card is connected. The boot time is eight times higher. And, of course, XP does not detect any card or disk (I have two Seagate 15K drives attached to the controller). I think that is a connection problem. I am trying to find a PCI VGA card to try to connect the RAID card to the primary PCI-E slot. Manu1oo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu1001 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I have switched the cards. RAID on upper 16x slot, and ATI in the lower. Same problem... Manu1oo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu1001 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 And with a PCI VGA card... same thing. Defective card, I suppose... RMA time. Manu1oo1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
