Hey all first off love these forums. second, I got myslef a wd 160 se drive with a promise tech ultra100 tx2 control card. then I got a seagate 160 se put them on the card and tried to raid them. it wouldnt raid. so I tried just ide on the card. only the seagate is showing up. so I falshed the controllers bios. still nothing. but the funny thing is when I run a wd disk check in dos. there it is. so anything blatantly obvious that I might have missed? Mouse ps yes I know they are diff brands, but checked around, perfectly ok
each drive is on a seperate channel yeah? both set to master? I am unfamiliar with that card sorry, could you tell me what the menu system contains?
yes they are on 2 diff channels and set as master. But there is no menu or way to get to any menu that I can see.
There lies your problem. You need to go into the cards menu (bios) and set up an array. If you do not get a prompt to enter the menu, see if the card has any jumper settings and/or try a different pci slot. My raid card doesnt like being in certain slots.
Well there is nothing on the card, absolute nothing. So I am going to do what I always do with computer probs. THROW MONEY AT IT!!! Just going to go out and buy a new raid card see if it will work then. Now I have another prob with another drive, but Ill post that in a new thread. Peace.
