thats not a raid via 6421 controller it won't work

as far as the error goes go in the bios and reset to default

So it has to be with a via 6421 only?

Well no not only.
But that card work great with just about every computer.
You can only use Via 6421 sata chipsets and SOME nforce boards.That is all that will work

Ohh ok that part I wasnt clear until now, but there is really no way you can use another card i mean they all do the same and this one is attached to my motherboard

it is rare for the sata on a mother board to work.even if its a via chipset.if its not a via or nforce you have no chance of getting it to work.
the best thing is to get this card.

Thanks man ill see what ill do now thanks for all the help

As im watching the chipset thinking in buying it, it see that the way of connecting it is inverse as it is in my computer. What I mean is that ill have to put the chipset upside down to work, and I dont think it willl work.

As long as you have a standard pci slot on your computer it will work. It will go in just like a sound card, or any thing else that fits in a pci slot. If you dont know what a pci slot looks like here's some it will be the #5 slot.

Ok so ive bought the sata card, ive created the usb boot, and when im trying to dump or flash the drive it gets stuck at 0x7f, after I turn on the drive, what should I do ive done everything and now its beggining to get frustrating man, sorry if I seem angry but I really have been looking forward to flashing the drive.

I believe that error means that its not detecting your drive. Make sure you follow the tutorial precisely and fill in all the spots noted in iprep. One thing different can make or break it. Make double sure that you are choosing the proper sata card from the drop down menu. If you choose the wrong item you will have this problem. Also be sure you have the updated def file.

Also check the sata cable, and make sure that you've got it plugged onto the right port on the card.

Yeah its plugged in where it is suppose to be, ive been googling is there some thing I should change in the bios?

Just to be certain, you got the one cofree recommended and you have it plugged into the internal port? Not the one on the outside right?

yeah i got the one he sent me the link, via 6421a, and i am connecting it to the one on the inside not the outside

Do you have access to a different computer? If so try it there. Then if that doesn't work I would go through the tutorial again doing all the steps over including the def file and see if that works. Don't get in a rush and don't miss any steps. Sometimes even the smallest thing over looked will haunt you. It would help also if you could give us a step by step account of what you are doing so that we can see if you are overlooking anything or doing something wrong.
