A8N Sli Deluxe Sli3114 Boot

[Graham Prout]

I have the above board and i have 2 maxtor 250 sata2 drives when i conect
them to the sli3114 i make the non-raid driver disk and start windows
installer and press f6 and install the sli3114 driver and windows starts
installing after the first part has installed the system reboots and then
fails to start the rest of the windows install saying the the ius no boot
device, if i put the drive on the nforce4 sata side the switch on the bios
sees the drive and when i try to install windows xp pro it wont install
unless i set the jumper to 150 compatability then it will install, anyone
know how to get the sil3114 to boot.

Regards

Graham

Thanks that did the JBOD great

No. That would be RAID 0, 1, etc.


Yes, that's what JBOD does. (Just A Bunch of Disks)

I have now setup 2 x 250 sata2`s as 2 individual jbod`s and installed
windows xp on one and windows xp 64 bit on the other and they are both
individual drives running as individual drive.
