Hi, I meant SATA controller(s) on the PCI bus list, where the SATA drives are in the PORT[n].
So you mean you have a PCI SATA controller and it is not showing on the PCI bus? Have you tried some other OS, like Linux, does it show up there on the PCI bus?
Or is the SATA controller listed but you can't find the drives connected to the controller?
Hi, I was not very careful when typing in my problem. Basically frustrated that I had to learn and code the different RAID Controller protocols, as I have heaps of servers with RAID controllers in them and no SAS or SATA controllers.
I was hoping that the RAID Controller I had could be selected by something as simple as a checkbox, that when selected it would act as either a SATA or SAS controller depending on the drives installed. On another test server I have a RAID controller and it displayed it's self as an IDE controller, I was too lazy to open it up and check for a IDE controller and assumed the RAID controller has an option to do this. I still have not opened it up to see, I will get my daughter off to school and have a look then. Basically I want to write the storage code, just great fun...
I do apologise to all for the quickly written "my issue, boo hoooo, grrrrrrr, darn no protocol, no docs...." message, and I thank everyone for their time and responses.
And I am impressed with everyone's passion and knowledge, you all have something to offer, it is a pity I live so far away. Oh well, the first billion is one its way.
I have a SATA controller on the way, this should resolve my issues.
Kindly thanking everyone again. Ali
