G1.Guerrilla Killer Raid 0 wont work
« on: November 23, 2011, 05:12:25 pm »
I am having a very hard time getting the Raid 0 to configure using the manual that came with the mother board.
When i follow the instructions in section 5 of the manual, it says to first set the bios like this


CMOS Setup Utility-Copyright (C) 1984-2011 Award Software
Integrated Peripherals
eXtreme Hard Drive (XHD)    [Disabled]
ICH SATA Control Mode    [RAID(XHD]
SATA Port0-3 Native Mode   [Disabled]
USB Controllers    [Enabled]
USB Keyboard Function [Enabled]
USB Mouse Function   [Disabled]
USB Storage Function   [Enabled]
Onboard Audio    [Enabled]
Onboard H/W LAN   [Enabled]
Onboard USB 3.0 Controller   [Enabled]
eSATA Controller   [Enabled]
eSATA Ctrl Mode   [IDE]
GSATA3 6_7/IDE Controller   [Enabled]
GSATA3 6_7/IDE Ctrl Mode   [IDE]

This was accomplished with no problem.
Then it says this

Step 1:
After the POST memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins, look for a message which
says "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" (Figure 2). Press <Ctrl> + <I> to enter the RAID Configuration Utility.
Figure 2
Step 2:
After you press <Ctrl> + <I>, the MAIN MENU screen will appear (Figure 3).
Create RAID Volume
If you want to create a RAID array, select Create RAID Volume in MAIN MENU and press <Enter>.
Figure 3
Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v8.9.1.1002 ICH10R/DO wRAID5

I never receive the Control I message and I cannot enter the configuration as documented

How can I get to this menu?

I also loaded the Raid configuration tool, but it keeps saying the G something or other is not present.
But in my device manager it shows it is there and is working properly
It also shows an Intel Sata Raid controller installed and working properly

Turns out none of the drivers on the disc for the Marvel sata3 ports are compatible with my hardware
The drives are sata3, the cables are sata3, and the board white sata connectors are supposed to be sata 3

My first experience with gigabyte boards, it is a little dissapointing their own disc does not provide compatible drivers.
So now I am going to have dumb down my system and go with the non sata3 to get raid to work.
