right i have installed this raid mobo and it was the mobo and not memory as it fires up ok now and both sticks of ram are ok but this is the first time i have fitted a raid mobo did not think it would be any more differant than a ide one but i can not get it detect my hard drive it does detect the dvd rom and cd writer so i swoped the ide cables around thinking that if it detects the 2 drives on the channel it will if i swop the ide cable over the detect the hard drive and cd rom on that cable but same problem did not detect hard drive or cd rom i can not get to use the install disk as i can not get it to run in this state i can get in to bios any ideas
