Hi I currently have 1 drive installed on a intel dp35dp motherboard in the bios it is set to raid I want to add a second drive to get some files and data off it What should i set the bios to achi or ide to get machine to boot as with it set to raid it wont boot what setting should i use to use the 2 drives
achi or ide.. either one- the achi will let you plug in devices e-sata and hot swap without rebooting
Just don't set it to Raid. Ahci should be safe with Windows Vista and Seven. (it works on XP too, but it requires a bit of tweaking) If you're using XP, set it to IDE.
