Can't install XP Raid5/ P5B-E
I'm trying to install Windows XP on a P5B-E with the onboard raid
controller.
Raid : 4 x 500 GB sata
Boot HD: 250 GB sata.
OS : Windows XP SP2
First I installed XP on the boot HD and this went very well.
After this I installed the additional raid HD's and changed the BIOS
setting as descript in the
MB manual from ASUS
Change IDE configuration
Configure sata as raid
On board serial-ata bootrom = enable
Creation volume on next boot: No problems .
I knew that I had to install the XP again from the googling.
So I put my XP CD in place and booted.
Pressed F6 for the additional raid driver and load them.
No problems.
Installation continues but it halters at the "Setup is starting
windows" syntax.
What have I tried till know.
Reboot with a other XP CD: same result.
Downloaded the latest raid driver and tried again:same result.
Checked the sata cables and they seemed ok.Boot HD is on an red sata
socked.
Reset bios :same sesult.
Disabled raid and it was again possible to do a normal installation.
Disconnected the boot HD and tried to install on the Raid :same
result.
What should I do now ?
Anyone a solution?
ps
Would it be an advantage to use a controller card instead of the
onboard controller.
I have only one lanes pcie slots remaining.
Theoretical my HD's can give 80 x 4 = 320 MB/s and the lane 250 MB/s.
Do I lose here some performance ?
If I go for this solution what are the evaluation parameters for an
controller card ?
Thanks
.
