motherboard-P4P800 w/raid controllers
I understand the concept of raid, but having problem setting it up. i started off with 1-40 gig hdd hooked to prim 1 ( non raid) This is drive C: and has Win XP installed on it. Wanted to hook up the raid on the computer. Bought 2 160 gig hdd and ready to hook them to raid.
I loaded the raid drivers, went to array screen and set it up as Raid-0. I disconnect the ribbon from the old 40 hdd, and try to install windows on the raided drives. nothing, while trying to load the screens comes up and tells me "no hard drives were found on this computer."
So i pluged back in the old 40 and left the 2 160's installed and when xp booted up on the old 40 , 2 "VIA RAID TOOLS" icons show up on the task bar. I opened them and set them to Raid-0.
I'm i on the right track or just not in the ball park?
thanks for helping......................
