The DVD Sata drive is connected to port 5. After about the fourth episode of this, I have used the following procedure successfully.ġ) I used Acronis or Reflect imaging software to take a bootable clone image of an operating system on one of the already built systems with a GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard and Windows 7 Pro and a RAID array working.Ģ) I install this disk drive in the new computer and connect it to ports 4/5 in IDE mode. 3) Sometimes I have been quite unable to get back to the RAID settings (CTRL-F) after being unable to install Windows 7. 2) In other cases, I have had the system be unable to read the Windows 7 install disk on the SATA drive once I set up the RAID array. The Problems: 1) In some cases, after I set up the RAID array and then start to install Windows 7, the Windows 7 installer fails to request the Gigabyte RAID driver for the array. I have now built about 6 of these systems and while I like the MB very much, there appears to be a serious problem with the firmware or with the build procedure when it comes to setting up a system with a bootable RAID arrays. I have had nothing but trouble building RAID systems using the above Gigabyte Motherboard. RAID system build procedure for Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
