    xpress recovery 2 requires IDE or NO Raid/AHCI ??

    Just read the following from Gigabyte's page. So you have to use IDE or turn off AHCI on your sata, and not use raid, to use xpress recovery 2? Is this really true??

    If so, I may return the board. JUST got it, and not to overreact for such a minor thing, but not sure I want a board from that level of morons :)
    1. Does not support RAID/AHCI (class code 0104/0106) hard disks.
    2. Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.
      Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:
      1. PATA IDE primary channel
      2. PATA IDE secondary channel
      3. SATA IDE channel 1
      4. SATA IDE channel 2
      5. SATA IDE channel 3
      6. SATA IDE channel 4

    i dont know much about this,maybe someone who knows more can comment but for the meantime any back up software would do just as good a job,software like acronis true image ect

      I have both acronis and ghost, but having the imaging ability built in would be rather nice.

      Not to mention incredibly idiotic to provide such an ability only if you ditch any semblance of speed for your primary drive.

      Not the hugest of deals, but extremely dumb and making me question my first Gigabyte purchase lol

        yes it does seem abit stupid if you cant back up in ahci and raid modes,but maybe the manual is outdated now? idk,you could email gigabyte directly and ask them or maybe lsdmeasap would know

          I've never used this at all myself, so I'm not sure, but I do think you should ask directly to see if those limitations are still in place.

          Ask them here, and let us know what they say, thanks.

            Hi,
            I also was hoping to use the built in feature of Xpress Recovery 2, searched the forum for an answer and took lsdmeasap's advise and contacted GGTS, here is what they had to say....it's a shame....
            Hope this answers the question.

            Unfortunately the utility will not be able to operate when it's under ahci mode, you will need to use it as ide mode in order to use the utility

            I am having a problem with the Xpress Recovery 2 Utility. It will not finish initalizing and hangs after selecting the option to back up hard disk for the first time. I am using the AHCI option in the BIOS verses the IDE default setting, IDE is just to slow. I have only one internal HDD at this time, no RAID. Is there a work around to make the Xpress Recovery 2 Utility recognize the HDD when utilizing the AHCI mode?
