Sorry, missed that bit of important info. Its an ASUS A7V266-E with the PDC20265 on-board. The promise BIOS is Fasttrak100 version 1.31 There is no menu option in the promise bios to disable "halt on error" thanks -----Original Message----- From: ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ataraid-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Richard Barrington Sent: Sunday, 22 September 2002 12:58 p.m. To: ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How can I disable PDC20265 BIOS Can you not just disable "halt on error" in the raid bios? You didn't say which card / mainboard you are using, but that should work with most systems, I think.
