me join:2002-12-08 Iapetus	reply to me Re: RAID 0 and restore image I have version 1.0 and I have not had time to try a different USB yet. For now, I know the Marvell controller at least gets me installed. Bios update was done recently but I will try that. At this point I came to realize that 2 2tb hard drives actually do make almost 4tb rather than 2tb in raid. I don't know why i thought it would create 2tb. I guess it has something to do with parity. I;ve ordered 2 Western Digital Blue 1TB hard drives For anyone looking »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···22236339 The seagate version with 32 rather than 64MB cache is also available for the same price. The seagate has 1 yr warrenty while the WD has 2yrs. »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···22148321

Has anyone reading this used 2 x 2TB drives and it worked? »knowledge.seagate.com/articles/e···218619en If that is the case, the Marvell controllers may not be a good option and data loss possible. I've not used anything larger than 1 TB drives. You could then use 1 x 2TB for the Bios's recovery drive for the array and the other for general data back ups/storage. -- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke

Due to the limitation of PC structure, the capacity of shadow memory is fixed. If the shadow memory is not enough, some of the RAID controllers will be inactive. »www.gigabyte.us/support-download···pid=4325 What is NV-RAM? - Nonvolatile Read Write Memory, also called Flash memory. It is also know as shadow RAM. I'm wondering if there's a setting or restriction there causing you problems? The USB stick isn't in the port at bootup? Is "plug n play O/S" disabled in bios or enabled? Have you tried with 1 stick of RAM to start the process? Not sure why that error is logged for your motherboard as a faq. Maybe an email to them regarding this? See: »www.electronics-project-design.c···ces.html -- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke
