1. Question:
No matter when or how you press F3, to set up the drives, nothing will happen.
Answer:
Firstly, it is necessary to attach the hard drives to the RC-200 RAID card before entering the BIOS
utility. If the system hang or freeze after inserting the RC-200 RAID controller into the motherboard,
please try to reinstall the RC-200 RAID controller to another available PCI slot, and try removing
other PCI boards on the systems to identify the device that is causing the conflict and remove.(If
there are another PCI devices installed the computer). Try RC-200 controller in different PCI slots.
Try disable/uninstall any unused devices to free up system resources. And there is still a problem,
please check with the computer manufacture to for the latest motherboard driver or BIOS update. It
will enhance the overall compatibility and provide better resource management for the computer.

Device Manager says RC-200 card is working properly. Hard drive attached doesn't show up anywhere.
I've tried multiple jumper settings and cable configurations, none work. I've tried bios auto drive

Answer:
If the RC-200 RAID controller is able to find the IDE drive during boot but it is unable to find the drive
under "My Computer" under windows, it is likely the hard drive has not been partitioned. If this is a
brand new hard drive this is almost always the case.
To create a partition, we must find the Disk Management utility under Windows. This is located in
different areas depend on versions of Windows, but for Windows XP we can find it as follows:
1. Click on the START button and select the Control Panel.
2. Click on Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click on Administrative Tools at the bottom.
4. Double click on the Computer Management icon.
5. On the left side, expand the Storage category and click on the Disk Management icon.
