damn it now im getting that stupid.
cant find XXX driver, if your using a cdrom make sure the cdrom is in the drive.
this is because i am using the F6 option to laod the RAID drivers.
damn it i hate this type of error because there s no fix. XP just does this whenever it wants to for no reason.
i tried skipping them since they are already loaded into ram. but when it rebooted i got a Stop 0x07B error which is inaccessible boot device. which is funny cuz i got the windows XP loading screen.
ggrr. must have been referring to the cdroms.
oh well back to the grind stone to see whatn i can find out.

So Lestat,
does this mean I can RAID0 my Raptors AND run my 2 IDE DVD burners in UDMA??
I'm on F4c right now...
nice so almost all problems have been fixed with this bios, that's awesome, just give us the higher fsb for a 9x multi and I'm a happy camper
to ensure that i am giving you gentlemen the most accurate information that i can possibly give you, unlike some people who seem to think i blow smoke out my arse, even after i can back up every statement i make. i am double and triple checking everything.
my earlier statement was made NOT using raid. now the thing is, if you didnt use raid, your devices still had trouble using DMA mode, infact they actually would be a SCSI device because of the way the gigabyte controller drivers treated that IDE device.
i uninstalled those drivers because you dont need the gigabyte drivers to run standard raid. infac ti would advice against using them. the gigabyte sata controller is a legacy device you dont need sata drivers. i installed them during my late nights of testing.
i currently have destroyed my perfectly running windows install to test the raid function for everyone.
but currently for some reason am having some issue with the F6 install drivers from the gigabyte website. incase some of you didnt know they just released new gigabyte raid drivers yesterday, funny they release a new beta bios and new raid drivers at the same time. hhmm and they had the balls to tell me they couldnt duplicate the issue ? pfpfpf..
anyways. im trying to help everyone here not just myself.
i want everyone to know beyond a doubt that this is gunna work or not under raid and non raid.
so say what you will about me but dont ever doubt my dedication to helping those of us with issues and standing behind my statements with pure evidence when i make such statements.
i will have more results for you all in a while.
right now i need to figure out why the NEW f6 drivers are having issues during the XP install.
please bear with me everyone.

ok download and install the new raid drivers from the gigabyte site. see if those help you.
i cant think of anything else...
but i will look into it.
you can also try going back to the old drivers off the cd if you ARE using the new raid ones.
i still cant get the new F6 drivers to work it keeps telling me it cant find the jraid even though it looks right at the floppy and reads it it says it cant find it,
im sure many of you guys have seen this.
not sure why it does it.. so i reformatted the floppy and am using the drivers off the CD

ok well i have no idea wth is going on but the only way i could get XP to load was the slipstream the raid drivers into the isntall using NLite.
so xp is loading right now on a raid stripe.

guys what is the max vdimm of DS4 mobo?
Yesterday, I was able to setup a raid1 with fc4 bios and newer sata raid drivers. The installation went off with little trouble. For some reason... the message about not verified for windows and usb keyboard not working to continue is annoying!!! Plugged in a ps2 keyboard and installed successfully even after second attempt. My DVD drive was set to DMA mode with these new drivers and raid activated.
Thanks lestat for the suggestions! Time to overclock this d805 while I wait to order e6600.
DMA mode is fully working.
so as of now no more worries.
this was fixed with the bios not the drivers, incase anyone was wondering.
didnt get to do any testing last night as i was already up late trying to get windows updated and drivers installed.
i will finish all that up and do more tonight.
as of now im at a wall at 420mhz. its kinda flakey though but 415 100% perfect.
before 410 was flakey and sometimes didnt even boot.
so not a huge improvement but its a step forward on the FSB limits of the 9x or higher cpu's.
we need some people with 6700's and 6800's to report in.
some ES models and retail models.

Go to device manager from system. Under IDE ATA/Atapi controller, right click on primary ide channel (maybe multiple) for properties. Should be under advanced settings tab =>transfer mode.
