 |
|
Hi.
I've just purchased a Q-tec 340R raid controller
<http://qtec.info/products/product.htm?artnr=13237>
However I can't make it work with my ECS k7s5a v.3
After the regular bios, it displays a list of harddisk attached to the
raid controller and that's it, it doesn't start booting Windows or
anything, and I can't use the f8 (bootmenu) to boot from floppy.
I tried the raid controller in another system where it works fine.
The only system requirements for this card, which I'm not sure I have is:
At least one device like HDD supporting UDMA/133.
Can't the k7s5a do that?
Or is there another reason why I can't use this raid controller with my
motherboard?

You can change your BIOS settings to boot from floppy first. |

It doesn't help.
It seems as if when the raid controller is connected the computer
"forgets" to boot up, and stops when the bios is loaded.
I can't boot up on anything, I've tried cd-rom, floppy and ide-0, all with
the same result - the boot process stops after the drives connected to the
raid controller is found.

Just tried a bios-update.
Amazing which things can be solved with that.
Anyhow it works now, thanks for your help.
