Asus A7V333 Motherboard and Promise Ultra100 TX2 Controller Card
Ok TECH's I need some help here.
I have a Asus A7V333 motherboard. I also have 3 Promise Ultra100 TX2 Controller Cards that came with the Western Digital 200GB hard drives. Anyways, on PCI 1 I have my ethernet card and on PCI 2, 3, and 4 I have those 3 Promise cards and nothing on PCI 5. I have all hard drives filling up 2 of the cards and they show up perfectly. But when I put hard drives on the 3rd card they do not show up during the boot process. When I boot my computer it shows the card and it's bios with what hard drives are on each card but only displays 2 cards.
I called Promise and they said it has to do with my BIOS space. I dont see how this can be becuase my motherboard should be able to support 5 PCI Cards and all work perfectly. I dont see how this isn't working. So if any TECH out there has any ideas for me that would be great.
Please email me at divxman02@hotmail.com if you got any suggestions for me. THanks so much.
