So you replaced "a" drive on the RAID controller,does this mean you run
RAID,or simply run a SATA hd on it.
Just two SATA hd. No Raid
FWIW, I have two IDE hd on my primary & secondary IDE channels
The DOS format and partition went fine...
With what software did you try this task...
Seagate's "Disk Utility". It's on a bootable CDROM
that allows you to format and partition a new hard
when you have no working OS. DOS format was a poor choice of words
The Disk Utilities operate with a simple interface that allows you to
partition, format with choice of fat32, NTFS or some Linux format
and then you have three hd test utilities you can use to check
the hd with. What I'm trying to say is at this point in this
environment all the tests say the hd is okay. When I boot into
either Win2K or Winxp I can see the hd and it's partitions
and that's about it. Win's disk utility and Partition Magic won't
even start up. I don't recall the error message.
I didn't use the F6 option because It would have only loaded the
drivers that had already been installed. The system has no trouble
seeing the drive. It even shows up on the controller's BIOS start
up page. I can replace the new drive with the old one and everything
is back to normal
.Depending on what other lame
symptoms you might have,basically, 2 320gb SATA seagate hds in RAID on
a ICH5 intel or later controller,get recognized as 320gb (raw state from
seagate)
when useing the F6 option,once thru,xp formats & installs w/o a hitch..An
ICH5
RAID controller is intels 1st,they used silicon image before that.Pretty
simple
steps,but still wonder how you get "DOS format & partition went well".....
Seagate's "Disk Utility" CD

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this is the right/best NG for this but...
I replaced one of my older two Maxtor SATA 120GB with a new Seagate
320GB SATA drive on my HPT374 ATA RAID Controller. The DOS format and
partition went fine and the drive seems to work okay in the DOS test
mode.
When I boot into Win XP the sounding device on the controller card
beeps continuously. Windows recognizes the drive and it's lettered
partitions. I look at the partition's "Properties" and under
"File System:" it says "Raw".
In the Event Viewer I get an error 51 message: "An error was detected
on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a paging operation."
After messing with it for a bit with no luck I put the old drive back
in and it still worked fine. I have the 48bit addressing working and
my 250GB IDE drive works fine so no problem there.
I think the drive is okay as I can boot off the Seagate
format/partition CD and all the tests come out okay.
