Problem: Changing the Intel controller from RAID to SATA
P4P800-E Deluxe; XP Pro SP2
I raided two 250GB SATA Maxtors on the Intel controller.
They worked fine.
For various reasons, I need to run them unraided.
From the XP Pro device manager, I disabled the Intel RAID driver.
I rebooted and set the BIOS to
Onboard IDE Operate Mode= Enhanced
Enhanced Mode Support On= S-ATA
Configure S-ATA as RAID= No
IDE Detect Time Out= 35
XP still thinks it is RAID.
The ASUS tech support said that once you install
the Intel RAID driver, it will not go away -
even if you uninstall the driver.
They claimed you have to do something to the registry.
Of course, they could not tell me what to change
in the registry. This all sounded fishy.
What steps do I need to take for XP to
recognize it as SATA instead of RAID?
Your feedback is appreciated.
