NASCAR427 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi Folks, I am new to NAS and was told to check out unraid. I and am having some issues setting up an old P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard with 4 new WD Red SATA 4 TB drives that I would like to configure with unraid [6.7.2]. There is currently no windows OS on the computer. The BIOS [1002.02] does not recognize 2 of the drives (only drives 3 and 4, not the Primary and Secondary drives) and I cannot get the computer to boot from the USB. The USB is recognized as a removable drive in the BIOS. Is the Motherboard too old to be able to run this setup? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 7 hours ago, NASCAR427 said: boot from the USB. On the BBS (Boot Order) priorities, does the USB show up as a hard drive As for the other, it appears that the Promise RAID ports can only be setup as RAID 0 or 1 and good luck having unRaid recognize such an ancient controller. On the other hand, if its the Promise ports that work, but the ICHR ports aren't working, then there's also an option in the BIOS for Serial ATA as RAID which should get disabled.

NASCAR427 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Thanks for responding Squid, sorry was away for a while. No, the USB does not show up in the Boot Order in the BIOS setup. trying to verify whether the IHCR or the Promise ports are the issue now Quote Link to comment
