No POST at all, so don't know.

I went with a basic set up just to get it started. No RAID array, no PCI-E HD's, nothing out of the ordinary.

Sounds like you have a problem with the MB. If you've already gone through the drill of swapping RAM, CPU, PSU and Video Card then there really is nothing else you can do.

Have you also removed all unnecessary USB devices? Have you tried booting with a PS2 keyboard? I had a problem recently were my rig would not complete POST due to a bad USB connection. You can also try using USB ports without the "power boost".

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'm very fortunate to have known good duplicates of everything to trouble shoot with. It would be a lot of unknowns if I didn't.

No internal connectors being used on the MB. USB keyboard & mouse connected to the USB I/O ports, because I don't have a PS/2 KB or mouse anymore. Can you still buy PS/2 stuff?

Hey guys,
How would you go about installing a raid 1 array for storage with the SB950 raid controller to an existing windows installation that was installed in IDE mode?

It just seems unlikely/annoying that you lose the IDE function of 4 drives using the SB950.

I ended up using the 88SE9172 controller but it's a little annoying (mainly because the cables aren't grouped chronologically but meh - at least it works biggrin.gif).

and f.y.i. it erased the disks so backing up was a good shout. +rep

After making a clone of the OS to a single HD, plug in the array & go to the RAID BIOS (Ctrl + F?). Set up the array in the RAID BIOS, & then clone from the single HD to the array. I kind of simplified the description because there are several steps involved in the RAID BIOS set-up, & there's also turning on the array in the main BIOS.

Yes, but the best place is yard sales or the electronics recycling bin. You can buy adapters though I'm not sure how well they work any more. I have a few USB to PS2 adapters but they don't seem to work that well with the smart keyboards and more sophisticated mice.

I shipped the MB back to NewEgg today via RMA & UPS. Hopefully the replacement is a fully functioning MB.
