I bought a esata/sata & ide PCI-E card. After sliding the PCI-E card into the PCI-E port of the ASUS P5KPL-AM SE motherboard, it fail to start up. The PC hang and won't start up. Must I manually change the bios for the pc to recognise the card or what must I do. When I install the software, I get the message that the Jmicron jmb36X scsi adapter is not found. Any Suggestions. Thank you. George.

SOURCE: SATA configuration for MSI P965 Neo --- JMicron hell!

Look at the support page for MSI P965 NEO V2.

The is a link to download the JMicron SATA driver, however, once i booted the driver from a floppy driver by clicking the F6 in WINXP settupt, it did not work - WINXP install would crash.

WTF is this **** with JMicron.
MSI support is pathetic, it does not even have SATA drivers for P965 NEO...

SOURCE: Asus P5K-E Wifi/AP configuring sata as raid

I have 3 hard drives, one I have my windows system files on, and on the others I was planning on doing a mirrored raid. Is this possible? I couldn't get it to work, I put the hard drive mode into RAID mode or ACPI (or whatever the other mode was) and it doesn't allow me to boot into windows or anything, blue screen of death.
Only works in IDE mode, but I cant make it raid using IDE mode :"(

SOURCE: Does not boot from SATA drive.

Hi Grumpy
It sounds like your mainboard is not set up to allow for a SATA boot drive.
Have a look in your bios and ensure the boot order is set to the SATA drive first
Then, make sure the SATA drive is formatted and has an operating system installed.
Alternatively, boot the system from a boot disk ( your XP or Vista disk will allow this) and check to see if the board can see the drive and can read the drive if it is already formatted.
If not, format it and install the O/S onto it and make sure you answer YES to the question " do you wish to boot from this drive?"
Both my systems use SATA drives and I only had a boot fault because the "pre-formatted drive" I bought was not formatted and formatting under windows during O/S installation solved this issue..

if you install the raid controller drive,it means it will shown the drives..but it not shown? is this what you mean? did you try to see in the computer management? if you dont know, check this out..right click my computer-manage-select disk management and check if your drive is there......this is only what i know about what you mean.

Looking in the net I found someone running an E8500 on this board so I guess an E8400 will work fine.
