| 141402 | 2003-05-05 02:22:00 | I'm hoping someone can save me from tearing out what little remains of my hair. I am rebuilding my pc and am attempting to add a Silicon Image 6801 Ultra 133 RAID controller card. No matter what I attempt however, the system tells me the card is unable to start. So far, I have tried; Swapping it's PCI slot; Rebuilding the operating system with the card attached; Rebuilding the operating system with the card unplugged and then adding it later (following the manufacturer's guidelines exactly); Uninstalling the card from Device Manager, and re-installing it via the New Hardware Wizard (also following the manufacturer's guidelines exactly);and Updating the card's drivers from Silicon's website. I haven't been able to find any advice about problems with this card, so can only assume I'm doing something wrong. My system is; Gigabyte GA-8ST800 motherboard with SiS 645DX Chipset; Intel Pentium 4 2.4G CPU 512MB DDR 333 RAM Seagate 40G 7200 Drive (System Disk attached as Primary drive on IDE 1) Maxtor 30G 5200 Backup disk (slave attached as Secondary on IDE 1) HP CD Writer + 9100 (Primary drive on IDE 2) Hitachi DVD-ROM GD-500 (Secondary drive on IDE 2) Matrox G400 32mb Dual Head video card Texas Instruments OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller Windows XP (Home) I don't want to actually set up a RAID array, I simply want to use the IDE connector on the card to control a Western Digital 80 Gig 7200rpm disk, which I will use for Video Capture and editing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |
