Yeah man we got to get him in the game! I was up late last night as you know and I got to the end of my rope. I basically did the following to get this rolling. after so many raid0 partitions on different controllers I had figured it would be best to wipe the drives. I have no experience with hdderase so I stuck with what I know. Killdisk. Using kill disk I wiped the drives and meanwhile I made a 20gb windows7 partition on a raptor and installed the updates and drivers for the chipset. then I rebooted plugged in the lsi and booted into windows and installed the drivers for the 92604i and then did the flash with you. once it flashed successfully and you went to bed. I plugged in my clean ssds to the card and set the disk settings for native ide. since this board has 2 x16 slots I had to go into that bios setting that shows vga order. it usually says PEG, PEG2 PEG3, PCI and so on. since peg stands for the 1st x16 slot closest to the cpu socket, peg2 is the next x16 slot and so on. I set it to the one with the raid card. then I set my apci to s1 and gen2. rebooted got into webbios made the array using the auto config method (it was late/i was drinking) rebooted and installed win7 dvd. plugged in the usb key with the drivers/it doesnt ask for them but i did it anyway. installed windows finally no reboots. installed the drivers/updates. turned off indexing/ power options to performance/ disk drive shutdown to NEVER. etc. etc. installed the lsi mega raid manager. went in and made the changes i didnt make when I did the automatic config in web bios. I wanted to try the 1mb stripe cuz that sounds awesome but I just wanted to get it going as fast as I could. 64kb is fine for what Im doing or for now. I was thinking we should make a LSI motherboard data base that shows which boards work and which dont and what you need to get them working.Originally Posted by Computurd
