P4C800 Promise 378 and ICH5 - BIOS settings???

Since you can't use the on board Promise Controller and the Intel on
board controller as they ARE mutually exclusive, I guesss that means
that I can't use my 4 SATA drives and my 2 ATA 133 HDD. right? I have
a SATA 160G Barracuda on "SATA 1" & "SATA 2". These are tho only
drives my board (Asus P4C800E-Dlx) recognizes. I have the other MB
ports labeled "SATA RAID 1" and "SATA RAID 2" connected to 2 SATA HDD
(same kind), and I have the PPromise ATA 133 80 ribbon (40 pin)
conne3ctor hooked to 2 Samsung ATA 133 EIDE 160G HDD's (one master -
one slave). The BIOS won't recognize them either. Does anyone know
what the maximum RAID 0+1 array is availble on the MB, and what the
compastable hardware connections are? I've spend $3,400 and only 2 of
my 6 HDD's are being seen!#@#!!

Do you mean that "press F6" message early in the installation?
It requires a floppy with a particular file--oemtxt. or something.
Where do you come up with that?

Go into IDE configuration and set to Enhanced mode.
This will omly work with 2000/XP, if you running
ME or 98 you have to use compatible mode.
In compatible you can run any 4 drives. 1 IDE +
2 ATA or just the 2 IDE
See page 4-11 in the manual.

Did you say you're running the Promise controller and you want to the run
the Intel too? It's either one or the other. No two ways about it.
What board are you using??
...

Did you load the Promise Drivers yet? The controller will not be recognized
anywhere until you load the drivers. It took me a while to figure out that
you do this when installing Windows XP.
If you need instructions on how exactly to do it I'll post back. Nothing in
the manual about this. It's aggravating.
