If you were trying to use RAID, then you'll have to reformat your hard drive(s), and reload Windows, remembering this time to load the RAID drivers before installing Windows.\n\nIf you could care less about RAID, either ignore it, or disable it.  To disable it, right-click on it and select Properties, then choose "Do not use this device" in the drop-down box at the bottom.  BTW, the question mark merely means that the hardware is there (it's built into your motherboard), but you haven't loaded the driver for it.

There is nothing else you need to do. It should have worked. \n\nTry to see if the drive is visible from the bios when you start the system. It might be that there is a conflict with some other device that is sharing the same IDE cable. Try changing it from master to slave or the opposite! (there is a little jumper on the back of the drive for doing this).

Medic was right, except he/she didn't realize you are trying to run IDE raid with two different IDE controllers.  You can't do that.  If your motherboard doesn't support IDE RAID, then you are going to have to use both hard drives through the PCI IDE controller, assuming it's RAID capable.  If it isn't, I'd go with 4 SATA drives.

Your boot device have reading problem, You have try to change boot device from bios, it may be problem with your hd or cdrom have any cd in drive and boot device could be set to cd or same with floppy.\n\ntry to install your hard drive on a non-ata100 controller and remember to press f6 to install ata controllers from the floppy... then when you get to win2k, try making sure all the ata 100 drivers are installed and then shut down, switch to the ata/100 controller and boot up... should work fine. this topic has been brought up several times in the OS forum so you should stop by there http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/wink.gif

I think you didn't set the jumper of hard disk. make sure one disk is master and other one is slave.

You could try "un-installing" it . Reboot and let windows "find" it and install driver. A firmware issue may be at fault if no luck.

I guess I would need a bit more information such as have you tried rebooting?  How long has this been an issue?  Here is my answer.\n\nIf you have not already re booted, I would suggest trying that then looking for the drives once again.

in your bios, do you have the cdrom set to be the first boot device?. try that

Do you see the drives in Bios? When your computer boots up press F2 and see if the drives are present there. If it shows up there I cant really imagine as to why your having the problems. Especially if you can boot to the operating system. I wouldn't say its the motherboard controller either for the same reason. Recheck your cables, usually the ide cables for the hard drives will be labeled HD 1 etc. There are usually two connections on an ide cable. Make sure you have the right one connected to the hard drive.

The mobo should be your starting point. RAID is supported by the mobo, not the drives. The drives just plug into the mobo. You can expand your array by using a PCI RAID card in one of the slots. \n\nhttp://www.mysuperpc.com/motherboard.shtml

Make sure the internal connections are still there, and then reinstall the drivers.\n\nmaybe its just busted.

The hard drive may have failed. Go in to the BIOS and see if the drive is found.

During installation of Windows you were prompted to press "F6" to install any SATA or 3rd part RAID drivers. Try reinstalling again, and when you come to that prompt, put the floppy containing your SATA drivers into your floppy disk drive. \n\np.s. WARNING: The power supply has absolutely nothing to do with it. DO NOT change the voltage settings on your power supply, as you can possibly fry your motherboard if the settings are not correct. If you live in North America, the voltage settings should be 110/115. If you live in North America, and you change it to 220...there's a chance you will be saying goodbye to your motherboard.\n\nIn most cases the voltage will come preset for the region you live in. Voltage settings of 220/230 are for Europe.

You need to verify that your controller supports hot-swap.  Some early controllers did not support this.  Also I think many cheap on-board controllers may not support it.  Also remember you can't hot swap your OS drive.\n\nBut the short answer is no, raid is not required to have a hot swap sata drive.

leave it plugged in and run a full system scan with Fdisk (scandisk). you should be able to pick just that flash drive, but you should check all drives. check automatically fix errors then reboot.. You've probably got a currupt driver or missing dll.

Did you connect the data cable?\nDid you set the jumpers correctly?\nIs the DVD drive enabled in the system bios?
