supasniper 0 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I just built a new puter (the spec is below) and every thing seems fine but during the boot sequence after it checks the IDE drives it says "no array defined" the mother board has RAID and i don't know if this has any thing to do with it. Can any one help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 If it has raid capabilities and you arent using them (like me and my mb) disable raid in bios. Not only will you not get that message, you should gain a faster bootup. I assume that message is talking about raid array, as in 0 or 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specter 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Is the RAID controller an add in board, or built into the mobo? Does it give you an option after the PC POST's to press a key to go into a RAID configuration Utility? If so, try that. If its built in to the mobo, you are either missing it in one of the BIOS menu's, or it isnt configurable, its always on. What mobo do you have? If it is an add on board, and it bothers you tht much, move all your drives back onto your mobo, and pull the card out. Otherwise..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supasniper 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 The RAID is built into the mobo but I don't have it either of my HDDs plugged in to it. I've looked in the config utility but it says: Disk not detected please check power and data cables and press any key to quit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Unless you can find in the BIOS where to turn it off, the only way that you will get rid of the message is to configure it. What mobo you got bro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specter 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 There should be a utility at POST during boot up, or a setting in the BIOS, or a software program that came on a CD with your mobo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
