This is the first Gigabyte board I've used to build a system. I
prefer Abit or MSI, but my buddy wanted a GB. So far, not a good
experience.
It's the K8NS-939 with a 3000 Winnie, 2x200GB WD 7200 drive trying to
run them with a RAID 1 on the NF3 SATA ports. The board will not
recognize the drives if they are both plugged in. It'll recognize if
I unplug one, but not both at the same time.
So I plugged one in, installed Windows XP Pro SP2 without any
problems. Then I plugged in the 2nd drive and enabled RAID in the
BIOS, but it just isn't picking up the drive. I switched the ports
with the Windows drive and it picked it up so I know both ports work.
I changed and pluged the empty drive and it picked it up so I know
both drives are good.
Any ideas? Bad motherboard? I will be calling Gigabyte later to see if
they have anything. It has the latest F2 BIOS BTW.
