How do I setup 8100 to boot XP on Sata drives w/ Raid 0?
I want to eliminate my original (primary 0) ide drive from my system and use my 2 Maxtor sata drives (Raid 0 array) connected to a sata pci card as my boot device for XP. Right now I have a 2 different versions of XP (one on the ide and one on the satas) which I can boot seperately at startup on the OS selection screen. But when I disconnect the ide drive from my system it says primary drive 0 not found and gives me no option to boot to the satas. I've tried fiddling within the setup menu (turning off primary drive 0 and switching the Hard Drive Sequence so the satas are first... but no luck) I noticed under Boot Sequence (in setup) that there is no option for the satas. There's Diskette drive, ide cd-rom device and Hard Disk Drive C:. Is there a way to add the satas to this list or am I totally off track on this?
Here's some info:
Dimension 8100/Limited
Bios version A09
Powerleaped 2.8 ghz
2048 gb rdram
2-Maxtor DiamondMax 100gb Serial ata/150 7200rpm 8mb cache Raid 0
Buslink Serial ata pci card
Hope that's enough info...thanks for reading....RPM
