ok so all the parts are together everything seems to work fine but i can't seem to get the bois or window to reconize the drive. if you look at the photo you can see the 8 sata portsfour are nvidia and are in the cmos, four are Silicon image whch is SATA II and has its own bios, needs extertan driver, also for the RAID, ans it sees the hardrive, but i followed the manuals instructions got the driver to floppy pressed f6 and it read the drivers fine exactly like the manual told me but it still doesn't notice the hardrive,thats for the Silicon Image, ie you can't get to the screen to patition the drive for ntfs,setup windows. But on the set the nvidia, i didn't need any driver, probably because its already there, the bios doesn't reconize it nor does the raid setup, but windows reconize the hard drive, but it won't get through the dos part of setting up window, when it restarts for the next part if the installation it just starts over, never get to the part to input the ID code
yeah i know that long but i have no clue any elp would be nice thanks
