How do i set up a (sata raid 1 configuration) on a KN1SLI LITE motherboard using two 120 sata drives?

when installing the o/s, there will be a prompt to hit f 6 to install the raid drivers and build the raid array

pull both drives. first to the new drive. on the end where the cables go you should have an area with some pens like this\n:::: and one should have a shunt{which ties two pens toghther} on it. look on the top of the drive and you should see a diagram of this. they should say something like this cs for cable select ma for master sl for slave.  now move the shunt to slave position. on the other drive do the same except set it to master or master with slave present. put them back in with the old drive at the end of the cable and the new {slave} in the middle ...turn it on see if it don't work right now!

hmmm. I dont quite follow that response but it strikes me as fairly well informed..\n\nIf you are attempting to put this in a computer that already works you may need to install specific drivers for the sata connection, if they were not installed by default when you installed the motherboard drivers and such. If you did not have this drive in when you installed windows, it may not have installed the storage drivers...\n\nI was thinking you may need the large drive support drivers but I am not sure. I believe that is over 137 gigs.\n\nbelow is a link to the drivers that may make it work.\n\nex. If I dont have my scsi drivers on a floppy, windows can't see the drive to install it during my windows install. \nBefore you try this I would go to windows update and see it it offers storage drivers as well.\nhope this helps.

Sure, I run 3 SATA drives and 2 PATA drives, no problemo. Needless to say, your motherboard must have a SATA port on it or you need to buy some sort of controller.

find this: http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200504/hddinstall_sata2.jpg on your moterboard and plug it in...if you do not have one then get this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2329305&CatId=1455\nhope that helped....\n-Doc-

Ignore all that crap.  Most likely, the jumpers are already set to "cable select", which means all you have to do is put the cable that says "master" on the drive that you want to be the master drive, and connect the "slave" cable to the drive that you want to be the slave.\n\nNotice how there are two IDE connections on the motherboard.  Each one can hold a master/slave (normal is two hard drives, two optical drives for a total of four drives).  The first connection is the primary, and the second IDE connection on the motherboard is the secondary.  So it IS possible to be both the primary and the master.

During installation of Windows you were prompted to press "F6" to install any SATA or 3rd part RAID drivers. Try reinstalling again, and when you come to that prompt, put the floppy containing your SATA drivers into your floppy disk drive. \n\np.s. WARNING: The power supply has absolutely nothing to do with it. DO NOT change the voltage settings on your power supply, as you can possibly fry your motherboard if the settings are not correct. If you live in North America, the voltage settings should be 110/115. If you live in North America, and you change it to 220...there's a chance you will be saying goodbye to your motherboard.\n\nIn most cases the voltage will come preset for the region you live in. Voltage settings of 220/230 are for Europe.

There are hardware adapters that you can plug two drives into, making them appear as one drive to the host computer.  If you are trying to fake-out a Netgear box that's probably what I'd try.  \n\nSome of the file-sharing appliances include a "backup" function that will duplicate your primary drive nightly to a secondary drive of the same size.  While not RAID 1, it would limit your risk of loss.\n\nThe CHEAPEST way to do this would be soft-RAID on your PC...but I doubt you'd like the performance.  A close second would be to stick any of the Promise-based IDE RAID controllers into your desktop and attach the drives to it.

Sata-1 would be a good place for the primary drive. When you expand add to 2, 3 , etc.

well depending on your motherboard and how well you know the inside working of the computer this is possible but the board must have ultra IDE and SATA ports and reguler IDE and each connector can have 2 drives on one connector except sata those are single drives.\n\nSATA - Serial ATA\n\nThe best place to get answers for this is to know how to work on a computer and to set it up but more help can be found for this type of thing at the below link.\n\nSorry for less help? it's just that people who don't want to go in to the technacalitys of this are lazy like me and are here to answer simple questions or some with not that much technacality to go in it.\n\nregister with this site and in the General Hardware area start a topic with the same question you asked here and you will get noting but technaclity answers here and there willing to answer because they like to show there skills off to new people :) so have fun!

Yes. It will support SATA II drives though I'm not 100% certain the SATA controller will offer SATA II capabilities. An advantage to ALL Intel motherboards is that even the first generation boards with SATA works with SATA II drives! \n\nAs for performance, you won't see a difference between SATA I & II without running a RAID array.

If you have tested multiple hard drives on this system and believe that the onboard sata controller is faulty, then I would recommend contacting the company you purchased the motherboard from for support/service.  (not Intel)\n\nHave you verified that this motherboard is running the latest version of BIOS?\n\nHave you verified that the SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS?\n\nGive the company that you bought the motherboard from a call, they'll be able to help you if your still under warranty.\n\nGood luck

ATA (IDE EIDE), SCSI, SATA\n\nThe link at wiki will give you more.

I assume you have the IDE controller enabled in BIOS?\nDid you set the jumpers on the drives? If you did make sure you have the master connected to the end of the cable and the slave connected to the middle (slave) connector.

Assuming you are talking about IDE drives, which you probably are, you set the jumpers on the second one to slave.  Generally the first one is allready set correctly.\n\nThe jumper is a little plastic piece on the back of the drive, there is usually a picture of how to set them on the top of the drive.  If you want the new one to run your operating system, you will need to load it on the new drive.\n\nYou probably don't want to do that.\n\nAnyway, set the jumpers, plug in the power and ribbon cables, and that is about it.  Or pay Compuhut $100 for 5 minutes worth of labor.  Your choice.

Open the case.  Look at the JUMPERS on the first drive.  It is set either to MASTER or CABLE SELECT.    \n\nThen locate the place where the 2nd drive will be installed.  There should be a duplicate cable for it.   If the First drive is set to MASTER, then set the 2nd drive to SLAVE.  If the First drive is set to CABLE SELECT, then set the 2nd drive to CABLE SELECT.   (But use the 2nd position on the ribbon cable). \n\nConnect the ribbon cable and power to the 2nd drive.   \n\nTurn on your computer and watch closely.  You should see TEXT that appears briefly that the secondary drive appears.  Don't worry if you miss that.   \n\nLook for the new drive under My Computer.
