I have two 80GB Hitachi SATA HD’s in an Asus A7N8X-E
Deluxe motherboard. I believe the Silicon Image RAID Controller is bad. The POST screen will list the two drives, I can access the RAID Configuration menu as well as delete and create raid sets with no conflicts. I can also use my XP Disc to format the two drives and install Windows on them. However, when I try to boot to the drives after the Windows installation I get nothing but a blank screen. I put my old IDE HD back in and it boots fine when the SATA drives are unplugged. If either (or both) of the SATA drives are plugged into the motherboard the IDE drive will not boot either. I have confirmed both drives to be powered up and all cables are attached. Any ideas what this could be?
