Solved: Detecting Array......SATA

Hi all. After the POST, my computer hangs for too long, displaying "Detecting Array....". I have RAID disabled in the BIOS. Am I going to have to live with this? I think it does not do it when I disconnect my IDE HDDs.

 

I have four SATA controllers. Not sure what you mean by RAID controllers though.

 

I checked the mobo and the scematics in the manual, but I see nothing that looks like a RAID controller. Well, the only RAID controllers that I have ever seen have been on Dell and HP server boxes, so I guess I would'nt know it if I saw it.

The motherboard that you have a link for is a different model, although I can not see any differeneces. My motherboard is not a Platinum. It does have the same RAID controller though; Silicon Image SATARAID5.

When I remove the cables from the IDE controllers, "Detecting Array" no longer appears. On IDE1 I have a CDROM and a DVD Burner (SLAVE & MASTER, no CS). On IDE2 I have a HDD.

What sucks is how SUPER FAST this thing boots up since I finally went to SATA. I just wish I can get the same results with my IDE in tact. Maybe Rolling Rog will come riding in here. Or Johnwill.

 

TRIPE 6 I found it right away. My primary IDE channel has the HDD and it still had the jumper on it, set to Master. I removed it and OMG this thing boots so fast.

Thanks for workin with me on this. Sorry for the delay.

After 3 years I still can not find the "solved" option. Someone wanna assist? I thought it was in the top left.

 

Sure is. Thanx. Guess I should start topics more often.
