270310 2004-09-08 07:11:00 I have just installed a PCI dual channel RAID card with two SATA drives.
they are working well, but the minuite i attach a PATA drive win2k throws a blue stop screen.
what can do to add these two PATA disks drives.
Incidentally i have ide 2ndary happily running two CD drives.

PS the RAIDs are configured to JBOD

I would say that PCI card is for SATA RAID ONLY, if thats where you're trying to connect the PATA drives to. Unless it states otherwise.

Whats JBOD?

270312 2004-09-08 07:46:00 A lil more infomation would be handy e.g motherboard brand and type of raid controllers. Have you tryed updating your drivers? Alot of SATA controller have buggy drivers as they are relatively new technology. Pete O'Neil (250)

Stolen from P.C. stats

(JBOD Sometimes referred to as "Just a Bunch of Drives." Each drive is operated independently like a normal disk controller, or drives may be spanned and seen as a single drive. This level does not provide data redundancy. )

Now Where is the offical one for "PATA?". Google thinks its a pension and travel plan. ?.

270317 2004-09-08 23:01:00 PATA is Normal old ATA

I am not trying to connect them to the RAID PCI Card i dont have the adapters.

MB Elite L4S8A2
RAID connected via ROCKETRAID dual channel 1520

New Drivers for RAID have been loaded.
No bios updates mention RAID remedy.

one stab in the dark , how do i unActivate a partition - FDISK lets me assign but not unassign an active partitiion for the ATA.

270318 2004-09-08 23:03:00 Have you tryed a BIOS update for the motherboard? Have you tryed updating the RAID controllers BIOS? Are there any IRQ conflicts? Do the PATA drives actually work? Are they known to have problems or have errors? Pete O'Neil (250)
270319 2004-09-08 23:10:00 It sounds like the PATA drive gets allocated as the c: which is probably moving the SATA RAID set down to the next letter like d:.
When windows starts to load it is looking for the system files on c: which obviously aren't there so it blue screens.
Have you set the BIOS to boot from SCSI first?
Also make sure that the PATA drives are totally blank and have no partitions at all.
