Trying to set up a program

[Ben]

I am trying to set up an raid 5, I downloaded and installed the program from
Nvidia that came on the motherboard disk. When I try and run it I am asked
what program I want to use.

Then it's not a progam that you "run".

What is the file extension... i.e., the three letters at the end after
the dot?

I have run raid in the past and loved it. The reasion I went to raid 5 is
because I had a drive go out and lost all data, under 5 the system will
rebuild it's self if one of the drives goes out.

It is a jar, it wants to load as a program everytime the computer boots up.

A .JAR files is a "ZIP" of Java files.

It shouldn't be loading at startup. Figure out why (msconfig?) and
stop it.

I forgot to tell you that the program is my Sata raid 5 manager, when I
loaded it it put an icon on the desk top and starts it when the computer
boots up.

Have you enabled RAID in your BIOS

Hi Ben,

Sounds like the program is designed to monitor an in-place raid?

A hardware raid setup needs to be done prior to installing the OS. Once set
up in the BIOS, the appropriate drivers are added during the initial stages
of the OS installation. Once the OS is fully installed, you generally can't
go back and change the raid configuration later.

Your post doesn't seem to be applicable here. You should be more specific
as to what you have done and what you are trying to accomplish and make a
new postl

Yes, I did and when I boot it shows it like it should, it was strange that
the program put an icon on the desktop and asks how I want to open it.

Doen't look like my fist post when through. I did set it up at the start
with 4 new drives and have set the bios, it looks like it should when it
boots up showing the raid 5 with 1.36T. The the problem is that the program
put an icon on the desktop and asks how I want to open everytime I start up.
