I have a KV8-MAX3 w/ the the latest A-Bit bios. System Config 2x36.6 WD Rapter on VIA RAID-0 2x120 WD on sil ports 1+2, RAID-0 2x200 WD on sil ports 3+4, RAID-0 AMD 64 3200+ 512x1 OCZ pc2700 WinXP Sp1 Problem: When i have the Sil raid tool open i get some "port error" or the alike (will get the exact error when i get back home). when i look in the Event viewer, it has a bunch of "error 54 on deviceX\hddX\..." like 50-100 of these errors. I am worried that i am going to lose my data.. again.. I lost about 6 years of data when my backup failed doing the murge to this new system, (corrupt norton ghost image) and i do not want to risk losing any more data. can anyone tell me if this is normal? It only seems to do it when i copy large amounts of data to the RAID-0 arrays on the SIL controller. I have the latest drivers for the controller as well.
Just a query on this issue as had similar problem when installing the SATA drives on my KV7, the BIOS and the Drivers for the SIL controller are at the same level? My point was that the BIOS I had contained V1.2 for SATA and I'd downloaded the V2.2 drivers which is what caused my issues. -- Marcus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Motherboard Abit KV7 Bios 1.3, XP2600 2.1Ghz, 1,024MB DDR400 @ 400Mhz 128mb Geforce4 Ti4800, Std Floppy 1.44mb,Sony 16xDVD, STT8000A Tape Drive, HP9300i CDRW, LS120 120mb Floppy, 2 x 160Gb Maxtor SATA150 Raid 0, Labtec Surround Sound Amp & Speaker set, 19" Hansol Monitor, USB MS Sidewinder Precision 2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Microsoft Windows XP Pro, SP1a Installed, LBA 48bit Patch Installed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
