iDeneb + Asus P5Q Turbo in RAID

[jabalsad]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to get this hackintosh to work. The iDeneb disk loads fine, but I have to set the hard drives in RAID mode. The Asus P5Q has two RAID controllers, one Silicon chip and the other I think is on the Intel ICH10.

 

How do I get these RAID drives to become available during installation?

 

EDIT: Ah sorry i'm being idiot. Don't mind me The real challenge will come when I'm trying to install Snow Leopard vanilla.

Alright so here is my *real* problem

 

I am using Asus Drive Xpert on two 500 gb hard drives in "Super Speed" (RAID0) mode.

 

The drive utility during the installation picks up the two drives as a single 921.5 gb DriveXpert hard drive. When I try to partition and format this drive using Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then i get a message saying:

 

"Disk erase failed"

Disk erase failed with the error: File system formatter failed.

 

Does anyone know if I can fix this while still keeping this two drives in the drive xpert raid configuration?

After some days of battling, I managed to get a vanilla install of Snow Leopard working for the Asus P5Q Turbo + Q9400. No modded BIOS needed, I just used some of the techniques laid out by the guide located at: /index.php?showtopic=183751

 

I'm now trying to find out if it is possible to use my onboard RAID controller to have a non-boot 4tb RAID5 array (since i already have a 1tb RAID0 array for the boot drive). The only problem is the BIOS needs to be set to AHCI and then I cant setup the RAID5 :< Does anyone know how to work around this?
