RAID Question

[Seidell23231]

OK, I have RAID 0 installed and running. My question is this, I thought
after it installed I would have one BIG volume instead of the 2 HD's? When I
go into My Computer, I still see the 2 HD's. When I go into Computer
Management I also see the 2 HD's. I don't see one large HD....

Thanks Gunny

Well, what are the sizes of the drives? Did you partition the array?

Do you think you should be messing with RAID-0?

It sounds like you didn't create the raid -0 migration of the two drives
properly. Am I correct that you are using the Intel on board Raid controller
hardware? This is a good controller however you may need to boot from a
floppy or access the command prompt,, to access the actual disk controller
and create the raid drive prior to installation of vista. You may also need
to create a floppy with the drivers from Intel web site for your moterboard.
If it is needed you provide that disk to vista prior to installation.

Good Luck

....almost forgot it it's the onboard motherboard controller the raid must
be enabled in bios
