AHHHH!

this explains why i couldn't install windows under the 0125 bios. when i 1st setup the board, i had my raptor raid on sata 1/2, sata 3/4 disabled and maxtor dm10 on sata 5/6. i finally flashed to 0201 bios which apparently reset the disabled 3/4 and i was able to install!

I quess u all changed the BIOS in dos mode.

I want to know exactly how u wrote :D

A:\awdflash ............

Need help fast, my board arrives in 1 hour :)

Thank U

you don't need any switches like on nf2 such as /cc /cp /cks etc etc?

I can't for the life of me get my board to boot windows with this BIOS and SATA 3/4 disabled. It does recognize the drives and then just hangs when it should be loading Windows. I will play around some more with this to see if there is a solution.

Do you have SATA 1 and 2 disabled in BIOS?

This bios hosed my SATA ports as well. I had mine connected on 1 & 2 with 0201 bios, worked fine. I had 3 & 4 enabled even though I wasn't using them. Flashed to 0209, it showed the RAID bios boot screen 1 time, then I never saw it again. After messing with it for about an hour, I flashed back to 0201, still wouldn't recognize SATA, changed to 3 & 4, and then I finally got mjy drives back!

Okay since this was a new install of windows, what I ended up doing was pull one 512MB stick out of DIMM4, disable SATA 3 & 4 then reinstall WinXP only loading the nVidia ATA driver, not the raid driver, since I am not configured as a raid. This allowed me to run 02/09 BIOS with only SATA 1 & 2 enabled.

Now if I could only figure out how to get more than 266 out of the TCCD's then I'd be set.
