Has anyone been able to run a raid set while also running a HDD that is not in a raid set?

I'm having some serious problems here... I have enabled raid to run my 2 raptors in raid 0 and everything has been fine w/ no problems. Today I installed a new HDD by itself and tossed an OS on there.

after instalation of the new os, I re-enabled raid and set my single drive as primary boot device. Wouldn't boot. It got to the windows loading screen then bsod. did this over and over till I gave up.

I changed my primary boot device back to my raid array and I can't get into windows. its FUBAR

So now i'm trying to recover data, but i think it's a lost cause at this point...

My question remains... after I put my messed up life back in order, is there a way to run a raid set AND a non-raid HDD???

The way I did it was put a raid array on ports 1 & 2 and single (non-raid) drives on Ports 3 & 4 with raid mode enabled in the BIOS. When installing to the single drive I disconnected the drives on the other ports and installed the OS on the single dive with raid mode still enabled in the BIOS. You will have to hit F6 and install the raid drivers just like you did on the raid array so the drive will be seen by the OS install. When you boot from the single drive it should see the raid array when you hook those drives back up also.

Just my 2 cent worth.... hope it works for ya.

Interesting. I was having the same problems after installing sata raid on 3 drives and trying to boot another single sata drive with it's own OS. I had to disable the raid all the time. I'll have to try your way.

is it true on this board you can connect high powered fans to the mobo headers?

i have many 120 x 38mm fans connected to the fan headers on this mobo...works great...you just want to have a good 12v feed from your PSU (amps that is).

What are those fans rated at in amps? I'd like to know because I definately said no to this when my Sanyo Denki's blew out 2 of my Fan controllers. They were rate .6 amps. My recent fan controller I didn't dare do this because my girlfriend brought it over from Japan and I don't want it blowing out.

Here is my 109g (including dual boot partioned) raid slice on 3 x 7200.10's (slim version) clean/fresh install, minimal drivers

Dude thanks for the heads up... I'll give that a shot. Seems funny installing raid drivers on a single drive though
