OK, so I'm trying to get a coule of new SATA hard disks to show up in windows. Here's the rig:
Intel 975 XBX Bad Axe 1
Core 2
2GB
8800 GTX
So, I already have the standard four SATA ports occupied, so I have plugged an additional two disks into the Silicon Image RAID controller SATA ports. I can enter the RAID bios on boot and see that the drives are being detected correctly by the controller.
I have installed the silicon image driver from the Intel website and the controller shows up as "Silicon Image SiL 3114 SoftRAID Controller" in device manager.
What I want to do is run the drives a standard stand alone SATA disks, I don't to run any kind of RAID array but I can't see how to do this. There apears to be no option for this in the Silicon image BIOS. So what is the solution - do I need to change something in the main bios etc?
Thanks
