i have 2, 160 gig Western Digital Ultra 100 HDD.......i want to run the RAID that my mobo offers. Its a ASUS P4P800 Deluxe with 800 FSB.
Here lies the question: since XP will not notice any HDD over 137.4 gig, should i install the "Promise Ultra 100 TX2" that came with the HDD ( its a PCI card ) that will allow the OS to notice it as a 160 gig HDD? And by doing this i would have to hook up my HDD's to the card, thus not hooking up to the RAID IDE prim.1 on the mobo.
By connecting to the controller card, will that allow the raid to still work? Dumb question but i cant get it to work by just connecting to the Prim. 1 on the RAID of the mother board.......and yes i went in and set up the array and set up the RAID as RAID-0........
thanks ahead of time for all help.............
