oafaloaf Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 ok so I go to install my 80gb rma HDD from WD, I go to create a partition and it says it has to delete my C drive (my other 500gb raid setup) for me to be able to use the 80...I cancel the installation...unplug the raid with comp off and install the 80gig on its own now I reconnected them started up my comp and if i boot to the 500gb OS it just "hangs" at "verifiying dmi pool"...ok! and it won't budge past it.... im running it bone stock, I have cleared cmos, and tried safe booting...nothing so far..:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: any ideas would be appreciated.....THANKYOU!!!

tuskenraider Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 So are you doing an OS install on the 80GB drive or just installing it for data or whatever? If just for data, have you enbled that SATA port in the BIOS and do you have the boot order correct? Any SATAI or II jumper on the drive that needs to be configured correctly?

Sharp Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Hello, What SATA ports have you used? SATA1 = ? SATA2 = ? SATA3 = ? SATA4 = ? This is what you should have, SATA1 = 250GB SATA2 = 250GB SATA3 = 80GB SATA4 = N/A And in the bios you need to do this in the RAID section, (integrated peripherals) SATA1 = Enabled SATA2 = Enabled SATA3 = Disabled SATA4 = Disabled Then you need to set your hard drive boot order, 80GB First RAID 2x250GB second. And your boot order, 1st = floppy 2nd = CD rom 3rd = hard drive Is this how your board has been setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
