I would like to a another sata 200gig hdd on controller 2. When i conect
the
2nd drive and boot up I get to the boot up screen and then the system
freezes
and then attempts to re-boot.
I am running XP SP2 fully upated on Abit AV8 mobo with AMD 3200+ via raid

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds like there's a problem with the second disk. Try the second disk
on
another system to see if it causes the same behavior - if so, then the
disk
is likely to be bad.

Warren:
1. First of all, we're making an assumption that the system boots &
functions without problems when the *only* HDD connected to the system is
your original 200 GB HDD. That there have been no problems with the system
until you connected your new 200 GB SATA HDD as a secondary HDD. That's
right, isn't it?
2. And, of course, your newer SATA 200 GB HDD is similarly non-defective.
Have you checked it out with the HDD diagnostic utility from the
manufacturer of that disk?
3. And you've correctly connected the boot drive to the motherboard's SATA 1
connector and the newer 200 GB HDD to the SATA 2 connector. You're certain
your connections are OK, right?
4. Have you reviewed your User's Manual - specifically the section that
deals with SATA HDD installation - to ensure that those BIOS settings are
set correctly especially as they relate to the kind of non-RAID
configuration that you're working with? That the BIOS settings for hard
drive priority order are correct for your configuration? Check this out
carefully.
5. I believe that ABIT board supports the 1.5 Gb/sec SATA data interface and
not the 3 Gb/sec one. That shouldn't be a problem since the system
(apparently) doesn't have a problem with your 200 GB boot drive which I'm
assuming is a SATA-II device and in nearly all cases there is backwards
capability anyway. But your newer 200 GB HDD may not be the same make/model
as the boot drive, so check that out in case any jumper configuration would
be necessary for the newer HDD to establish 1.5 Gb/sec capability. Just in
case that's causing the problem.
Hi Anna,
Answer to 1 is yes.
Answer to 2 is no I don't have another system available to check the drive,
I will disconnect my "C" drive and plug the new drive into controller 1 and
see what happens.
Answer to 3 is yes all connections are right, I have checked them time and
time again.
Answer to 4: I have read the manual 5 times and cannot find in the BIOS how
to access the hdd boot priority all it allows me to do is enable the Via Sata
Rom/Raid.
I will check the 2nd drive as it is Maxtor and the original drive is a
Samsung.
Thanks for your help, Warren
