P4P800 Deluxe/IAA RAID Edition

[Stuart McKendrick]

I have a single WD Raptor hooked to the 82801ER controller. When I try to
install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition software, it tells me
that I have the incorrect chipset.

Is this because I have a single drive, or is the IAA reading incorrect
information - or is it something else?

In Device Manager, I have three "82801EB" items (LPC Interface;PCI Bridge;
SMBus Controller). Are these correct, or should they be 82801ER?

Hi Stuart.

I have the Asus P4P8000 board. The drivers in device managers are the
correct drivers.

Did you enable the Intel Raid in the bios? I think you have to set
Configure S-ATA as RAID to yes, and
Serial ATA BOOTROM to enabled.

This should allow you to install the software at least. However, you
won't get any real benefit until you add a second drive. IAA Raid
edition is used to covert a single drive to a RAID 0 or 1 array when
you add a second drive.

The chip seems to comes up as EB if raid is disabled (plain ATA), ER if Raid
is enabled in bios.
If it is set as Raid, it can cope with non raid IDE configs as well as raid.
