Sup fellas .. one of my AMD Athlon 64 motherboard (Asus K8V Deluxe) has two onboard Sata & Sata Raid controllers .. the first one is the VIA VT8237 Sata/Sata RAID controller .. the second is Promise FastTrak 378 Sata/Sata-IDE RAID controller .. the IDE for Promise RAID has 1 IDE connector.. what I wanted to know is.. can I run just a IDE HDD off the Promise FastTrak 378 controller in a single drive configuration.. like a normal IDE HDD connected to the primary IDE controller on a motherboard..
Anyone else have this onboard RAID controller and successfully do that? I know it's a common controller.. thing is, I'm not sure which driver to use either.. I have FastTrak 378 RAID drivers, and then I have FastTrak 378 Sata drivers (ATA mode).. do I use the RAID driver? I'm sure I would'nt use the Sata driver.. I might not even be able to do this, But I have seen other people run regular IDE drive setups off a RAID controller before..
