I have installed a Tekram TR-822 SATA Host Adapter which is connected to a SATA 1TB HDD.
My problem is that now a screen shows up before windows boot thats says:
CODE
SiI 2332A SATARaid BIOS Version 4.2.12
Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Silicon Image Inc.

Press <Ctrl+S> or F4 to enter RAID utility
Primary Channel: ST31000340AS



It sits at that screen. It will not do anything even it i hit <Ctrl+S> or F4. I also cannot get into my Mobo BIOS because this screen overrides them. The only way to get passed it is to unplug the harddrive and then it flashes a screen that says:

CODE
SiI 2332A SATARaid BIOS Version 4.2.12
Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Silicon Image Inc.

Press <Ctrl+S> or F4 to enter RAID utility
Primary Channel: Not Found
Secondary Channel: Not Found


And then continues to boot windows.

I have tried altering the jumper settings on my HDD as well as numerous changes via setup (when the HDD is unplugged)
But whenever the HDD is plugged in, It sits at that screen and does not respond to any keystrokes.

Any help? smile.gif
