**If you are planning to overclock your system, go into "SoftMenu Setup" and make sure to set your AGP/PCI Frequency to Fixed. The ICH5R is sensitive to timings and may not recognize your RAID array if the frequency is increased.
Make sure you increase your DRAM voltage in "Soft Menu Setup" to at least 2.65v. 2.7v or 2.8v are recommended if you are overclocking.
1. Go into BIOS, select "Integrated Peripherals", "Onchip IDE Devices." At the bottom of the screen you'll see "Onchip Serial ATA Setting" with several choices beneath it. In "Onchip Serial ATA", select "Enhanced Mode" and them move up to "Onchip Serial ATA Mode" and change it to RAID.
2. You may need to go back to the top of "Integrated Peripherals" screen, and set IDE Bus Master to "enabled." This setting may need to be enabled depending on your particular hardware setup. This one is optional.
***Disable any other IDE hard drives you have by unplugging them or disabling their respective IDE Controller. You can reattach them later after you install WinXP. Make sure you don't disable the controller which has your CD or DVD drive attached to it.***
3. In "Advanced BIOS Features" set Hard Disk Boot Priority to "Bootable add in device". Set the boot device order to Floppy, CDROM, Hard Disk.
F10 to save and exit the BIOS and reboot
During the POST, you will see the Intel RAID BIOS load. Hit Ctrl+I to create your RAID array. Select your stripe size. 16K, 32K and 64K seem to be the higher performance settings depending on what your main applications are, i.e. gaming vs. video editing. Other threads here and at ABXZone have gone into great detail on that issue.
When you install WinXP, select the "Full Format" to format your RAID array. Do not use the quick format. Users have reported problems with the quick format. Full will zip by quickly.
Press F6 to load drivers when prompted (pay attention, it may go by quick). Use the diskette driver version from Intel's website as it has been updated since Abit made their CD's. Intel RAID Drivers WinXP for F6 Install
When using PATA drives for the raid, you have to use the Serillel 2 converters. The 0 versions won't work after the v1.0 bios.
Also with Maxtor PATA drives set the jumpers to master and with WD PATA drives REMOVE the jumpers. And best if the drives are the same.
Alle Credits fuer diese Anleitung gehen an "swatter" , "Prometheus" und "maxwedge" aus dem Abit-Forum.
Ich fand es aber so gut beschrieben, dass ich es euch nicht vorenthalten wollte. Es koennte einigen Threads vorbeugen - vorausgesetzt derjenige nutzt die Suchfunktion!
Wer ne dt. Uebersetzung braucht - PM an mich reicht.
