nevermind, i got the wrong driver... but it now locks up at formatting at 43%. maybe it is a bad drive after all. thank goodness 36 gig raptors are cheap now.
can't run diagnostics as i have no other system with SATA connections.
Is is possible I'm loading the wrong driver? I got the Silicon Image driver off Abit's site. Is this the correct one for the ICH5R southbridge on-chip RAID?
My IC7 Max2 recently lost whatever defined my striped pair of raptors as a single volume. I had to rebuild the volume, and now when I try to install windows, and I load the on-chip RAID drivers off the floppy, it subsequently shows that it detects no volumes. Nothing's changed in my BIOS. Is it...
actually a dremel would be better unless you have a drill capable of serious power. my 13 volt cordless wasnt up to the task of spinning a 120mm holesaw, so i had to buy a new 19.2v one which tore right through it.
coming along nice. be careful when installing the parts, dont scratch it.

yea, just cut off the 3-pin and splice it into a 4pin pass-through cable. just splice the ground into the 5V and the -12V into the -12V. (thats black into red and yellow into yellow)
done.
