August 20, 200619 yr Well I had 2 Ultra ATA IDEs give up the ghost and since I have a bunch of SATA drives I decided to rebuild my system as an SATA. Equipment: Using the standard Intel board/processor/memory I had in the IDE build. Using one Chieftec 3-2 Mobile Rack (SNT-2131-SATA) Loaded with 3 (tested) WD WD4000YR HDs. Using onboard SATA and 1 SATA 300 TX2 Plus Promise card. (if problem is resolved I will add 2 more SATA 300 TX4 cards). All cards, drives and mobile rack test well in windows. I put the BIOS into Legacy mode but selected SATA + IDE primary. 1. Here are my problems- 1. Promise card does not show up in Web interface of Unraid; one SATA port/drive off the mobile rack is thus not showing up. 2. Out of the two drives that do show up (cabled to the onboard SATA 1 and 2 ports), neither can be made a Parity drive. So the questions... 1. Do I need to load somesort of linux driver to recognize the Promise cards? If it's not a driver issue is it a BIOS setting or something else? 2. How do I make an SATA Parity drive. THERE are no instructions for this, even as rudementary SATA support is offered. Tom or anyone else- can you please help? Thanks, Alex
