Recently upgraded from Intel 845 IDE board to Intel 915 SATA board with
one IDE channel. I know it's not much but the MB, CPU and memory are
faster and it makes a difference and I'm a gearhead, what can I say.
The problem is that I have to run my CD burner and extra HDs on a
Silicon Image 0680 ATA-133 PCI Medley Raid Controller, which used to
work fine on the 845 board and now the burner and any IDE HDs are
detected by XP as SCSI devices. This controller worked fine on the 845
board but on then 915 board IDE devices are detected as SCSI devices and
don't work as they should. HDs shows no data and the burner will read
but not write.
I have searched and read but the best I can come up with is that is just
the way it goes with RAID/IDE controllers. I was counting on this PCI
RAID/IDE controller card to run the burner and other HDs.
I would hope that there might be a controller card available that would
not be detected by XP as a SCSI device.
The onboard IDE channel works fine.
