installed me new board, but it only recognises my SATA drive as a RAID device. is there anyway i can run the SATA drive along side 2 x IDE drive e.g. c:,d: and e:
ideally i would like to put a fresh install of xp on the SATA drive. anyone any ideas?
cheers

The SATA/RAID controller is recognised as a RAID controller by windows, so basically one disk becomes a RAID0 array of 1 disk.
To install onto it, unless your install cd has support for it, you need a driver floppy, when you run XP or 2K install there's a point where you're prompted to load a third party RAID or SCSI driver hit F4 or something, it says, don't recall exactly, bung your disk in, with any luck it loads the driver and finds your 'RAID array' and you can format and install on it.
