What color is your motherboard?
Intel says that green motherboards do not support RAID 0 and
that black mobo do.
See Intel page

There are links on that page to driver updates also.
Are your driver and BIOS updated.

"Serial ATA Drive (Optional)
For the Intel® Desktop Boards supporting Serial ATA, one or
two (optional) SATA cables are included. The cable
(4-conductor) supports the Serial ATA protocol and connects
a single drive to the desktop board. Either end of the cable
can be connected to the SATA drive or the connector on the
board. Some Serial ATA drives may require a power adapter
cable. Contact the manufacturer of the SATA drive to
determine the best method for powering the SATA drive.
For correct SATA cable function:
1.. Attach a cable end to the connector (A) on the board.
2.. Attach the other cable end (B) to the drive.
Figure 5: Attaching the Serial ATA cable.
Intel does not support the use of IDE to serial-ATA
converters, however limited testing indicates that such
converters may work with the Serial ATA feature of Intel®
Desktop Boards. The IDE drive may need to be configured as a
SINGLE drive (usually by setting a jumper). The drive may
not be recognized by the system if it is set as Master,
Slave, or Cable Select (CS).
For additional information on Serial ATA, refer to
Information on Using Serial ATA Hard Drives."

| If you find any clues, please post something and let me
know. I'm going

soon as I RAID 0

array, everything
