SATA pairing confusion by SHIKHAR
Try it, I would imagine installing RAID drivers onto a non-RAID system is not a good idea. Hope this helps Andy That's what I thought, as my first s939 SATA II mobo (Nforce4 Ultra chipset), didn't need them, but my current AM2 mobo (ATI Xpress 1150 + SB600 chipset) does need them. I only use a single SATA II HDD.

There is no requirement to use SATA drives in RAID, though. I'm not familiar with nForce4 boards, but you'll probably have to install the RAID drivers for the onboard SATA controller (using F6), even if you will not be using RAID. (This assumes that you're installing Windows XP.) If you have time, study the manual,

SATA on an Nforce4 requires the right drivers. Fedora Core 3 and 4 work fine as does Ubuntu. My disk is ATA and the board has Nforce3 chipset not 4. I heard somewhere that I need to install the RAID drivers even though I'm not using RAID. I will try that next and then as a last resort I will call Microsoft.

nforce4 sata = stardard dual channel pci ide?!
I did a rather careful install of all drivers on the mobo (giga norce4 ultra-9) and have determined that the raid driver (the installation done from windows, not the boot raid) is the source of the BSOD. That is, the audio, SMB, and ethernet 64 bit drivers provided by giga-byte work fine, as well as the marvel

Hi Anna, I understand about the driver. My motherboard (msi k8n neo4 platinum) has to sets of internal raid ports. 4 are part of the nforce4 chipset and 2 run off of a silicon image chipset. My C drive is a sata drive on the nvidia chipset. I have a mirrored array running on the sil3132 chipset.

Nforce4 RAID won't install on WinXP
BTW, HardOCP seems to have repeated issues with the RAID driver on nForce4 boards, and it is a driver/chipset issue, so all board vendors are affected.

I just don't trust that driver of theirs on a critical machine. That's why I wanted to use Windows's own built-in software mirroring capabilities instead of relying on a third-party driver.
