Re: [motherboard] Computer can't see RAID drives with NIC insta
on page 70 of the Intel PDF I linked, it says that PCI devices (both on-board and add-in) are auto-configured at boot. so what you must do is find the setting that changes the available IRQ's. this gets kind of technical, a little above my current level of education on the matter, but basically you'll need to find out how much memory your PCI NIC needs to function (look in manual or on the website) and set that amount as the range to disclude in the available IRQ in BIOS. Now you need to manually install the NIC in windows, which again is above me, though it should be pretty straight-forward. what I do know is that you can go to Add Hardware (in XP, and I'm hoping 2k3 too) and enter in the information when asked.
I hope this works, otherwise both of us need to go to A+ Cert for a refresher  |
