SATA and PATA in a ASUS MOB
Does any one know how to make an MOB recognize the hard drives when placing 2 SATA HD's in RAID 1 and 2 PATA HD's without any RAID whatsoever.

The ASUS MOB has an option for IDE Configuration. It messes me when I tried all combinations. SATA Hard Drives are OK in RAID1. The BIOS does not see the PATA hard drives. The two optical drives, one NEC DVD writer and one ASUS CD R work fine.

Does any one have solved this in a ASUS MOB. Tried to conatct ASUS. No luck yet!

Does it detect a single PATA drive without the SATA drives connected? Which drive(s) are you booting from?

It does not recognize PATA even without SATA. I tried 3 or 4 sets of cables. There are two places you can connect the IDE cables. I tried both. (both are at the south and southeast end.) In the one at north west end, I have connected two CRD drives, they work OK.

I can boot from the SATA drive, even if I have PATA is atatched, even though not recognized. If one wants to work with 4 SATA drives, MOB would work. I have 2 SATA's now.

Is the problem with the MOB IDE connections?

Failing a fix, I think I should appraoch ASUS.

It sounds like either settings or IDE problems. I don't really know which. If its new, I'd try to return it and see if the problem persists on a new board.

It is a new MOB. I am hesistant to return it after spending so much time to make it work.

In any case, one should not buy a MOB that is new in the market, because all the bugs are not known and fixed yet.
There are too many things in MOB's these days, so it very easy to have some errors go unnoticecd!

Date 7 APR 2005


Finally, I decided to leave the two SATA HD's in. Somehow, even if BIOS does not recognize the PATA drive, I could add the PATA drive after installing XP in one of the SATA.

It works OK now. Did I remove SATS and try to work with the PTA?

I did not. I am satisfied with the MOB. No problems whatsoever after that. I should not have to spend this much time i.e. 4 week ends to make this thing work. My impression is that ASUS MOB is not use friendly!

I need a next unit to be user friendly for the Intel P4 775 CPU.
Any ideas any one?
