IDE controller card

[dune10191]

I would think you have to load the drivers before it
boots. Are there just the raid drivers or ide too> Is
there any type of jumper setting for the raid/ide?

I have a striped raid array and you load the drivers for
them. Also you have to select the raid card/drives in the
bios boot up list as first boot

Hope that helps

get a RAID configuration screen even though I do not have

attached to the MOBO controller.

Thank you for your reply
Maybe I was not clear in my question.All the drivers are loaded.Device =
manager shows no problem,but any drive connected to the IDE card will =
not show up under Explorer nor under Administrative tools/computer =
management.
I am not running a RAID config just another IDE controller in a PCI =
slot.I am using non-raid drivers but I am still getting a RAID config =
screen upon boot up.
what seems to be my problem??
