im trying to set up a raid 5 in windows, im using a GA-p35 dq6. it has 2 controlers for raid, set up as follows
gigabyte controler: 2*160gig in raid 1 (for os)
this is set up and working i installed the raid drivers as i set up windows.
intel controler: 4*500 gig (to be in raid 5
1*optical drive.
with the intel controler disabled, the hard drives show up in xp disk manager and im sure if i wanted i could set up the raid. however, i want to set them to AHCI mode, but if i do that the boot gets stuck at verfying dmi data pool. any ideas why?
i didnt create a raid in the mobo controler config cause i want to set it up in windows if i ever have to move it, this is my data space
and ideas why i get stuck? or how to fix it?
