Installing new Raid Card...need some help
by Scott S. on Jul 23, 2008 at 3:02:29 am

Hello,

I recently purchased a CalDigit Raid Card and went through the installation process this evening.

When I powered it up I got the flashing question mark. I proceeded to go back into the machine, uninstall and then re-install the components to make sure everything was seated correctly.
Same problem on the next boot. I eventually got it to boot correctly by zapping the PRAM, but my system drive showed up orange and in the info says it's connected via SCSI???
Also, my system is not recognizing my other 3 internal drives.


All drivers have been downloaded and EFI is 1.3 like it is supposed to be. So I opened Raid Shield and saw that it had my boot drive as #1 in raid and my other 3 drives are recognized, just not raided at the moment.

Now, for obvious reasons, I don't want my boot drive to be part of the raid, I was hoping to just Raid 0 the other 3 internals in my system.
I am having trouble finding any documentation that covers any of this and I am hesitant to do anything as I don't want to erase my system drive.

FYI: Here are my specs.
Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8GHz 8 core
10GB RAM, 320GB WD system drive, (3) 750BG WD internal media drives.
ATI Radeon 2600 XT, Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme and Caldigit Raid Card.

Thank you for any help. I apologize if the answer is staring me in the face, but I am new to installing my own raid and have searched all over to find any info.
I appreciate the wealth of knowledge this forum shares.

Thanks
Scott S
