If the BIOS is still not being displayed during the POST cycle, moving the Adaptec PCI controller to another PCI slot, may resolve an IRQ conflict. There may also be an option that refers to 'PCI Optional ROM scan' or 'Scan User Flash Area' and if either of these options are present, be sure they are 'Enabled'.ĭepending on the system, changing one or both options may allow the controllers BIOS message to be scanned and displayed during the POST (Power On Self Test) bootup process. If there is a 'Quiet Boot' and/or 'Quick Boot' option, it should be 'Disable' (some systems, will have both options, in this case Disable Quiet Boot only.) Some manufacturers are also are displaying their logo to the computer screen, and performing what is being called a 'quiet boot', not displaying the POST cycle process and not loading the additional optional features.Įither of these can prevent the Adaptec BIOS banner from displaying during the POST (Power On Self Test) cycle of the computer.ĭouble check the motherboard documentation for the optional CMOS settings and look for a setting referring to 'Quiet Boot' and/or 'Quick Boot' (an example would be the Intel Rapid BIOS Boot on Intel ® motherboards). These POST tests include scanning the PCI Bus for an Optional ROM. How this is being done is by not performing all of the start up checks during the POST (Power On Self Test) cycle of the computer.

Press ESC then Y to Exit the RAID BIOS then install your operating system on your drives which are now in RAID.Computer manufacturers are trying to get computers to start faster at boot time.

The two drives will show in a RAID once this is complete.

Press the Y key to create the RAID volume.

A data loss warning will appear when creating a new volume: All data will be lost on both drives.

Press the Tab key through the rest of the options until you get to the Create Volume option and press the Enter key.

Select the RAID type ( 0 or 1) using the up or down arrow keys and press Tab again.

Select a Name for the volume and press the Tab key.

The RAID BIOS will show both drives connected to the system.

Power on the machine and immediately begin tapping the Ctrl key and the I key repeatedly.

After the settings have been saved, power down the machine.

Within the SATA Drives heading set the Chipset SATA Mode to.

Once in the BIOS go to the Configuration tab, then select SATA Drives.

Enter the standard BIOS by pressing the F2 key repeatedly on POST.

Make sure two hard drives are connected to the motherboard and are connected to the power supply.

The major downside is that this actually doubles your susceptibility to hardware failures as if one drives fails, all of the information is lost. The theory is that if Drive 1 reads the first part of File A, and Drive 2 reads the second part of File A, the information is actually read twice as fast and thus the computer is twice as fast. RAID 0 splits a file in to pieces and puts some of the pieces on Drive 1 and some on Drive 2, to increase speed. RAID 0 is in fact not really RAID at all because it is not redundant. This is done so that if either of the two drives fail, an exact copy of that drive is readily available.ĭrive 1: File A, File B, File C, et cetera.ĭrive 2: File A, File B, File C, et cetera. RAID 1 is a duplicate drive, essentially Drives 1 and 2 will be exactly the same. There are many types of RAID but the two most common are RAID 1 and RAID 0. RAID, or Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks is a technology that provides storage reliability through redundancy, combining multiple hard disk drives in to one logical unit wherein data is stored in multiple copies across multiple hard drives.

Most Intel motherboards will support RAID 0 or RAID 1.
