I Did Not Set Them Up For Raid Configuration. I am Using Windows XP Pro Sp2 I. Want To Add Another 3112 PCI Card To Give Me 2 More SATA Inputs. My System Is Already Operational With The Internal 3112. Will I Have Any Problems Adding This New card? I Want to Add another Raptor Drive And A SATA Plextor 16 x DVD DVD RW Drive. Not In The Raid configuration. I Just Want To Add another Harddrive To Clone To For Backups. My Mb model Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe. I Can't Flash The BIOS Or My System Crashes And Some Of The Programs I Have On This Computer Can't Be Reactivated. So I Went Back To The BIOS It Had When XP Pro Was Installed For The First Time. This Is The NTFS File System. Name David Bernstein 4937 N.W. Foxworth Ave. Port saint Lucie, FL 34983 Ph 772-878-6769 Fx 772-878-8434 Thank You For Your cooperation In This Matter. Hope This Will Work Without Any Problems. I Have 3 Open PCI Slots. I Have A PCI 3112 Controller Board with SATA Cable. If I Plug It In To A PCI Slot Will It Come UP Just Like Any other Device Does When It Is Installed For The First Time. I Have Drivers Already In XP For The Onboard 3112 Controller Chip And I Am Booting From The First SATA Raptor Drive At The Present Time, And The Second Raptor Drive Is Used For My Swap File And Temp Video Data. Will There Be Any Conflicts With Using Them Both Being A 3112 Host Controller Chip And PCI Card Together Working At The Same Time.
