abit kg7 raid....no raid?

[garett]

i am trying to set up a raid array on my abit kg7 raid. after i set my array up, i can not get fdisk to recognize the array. i have tried freedos fdisk as well and no luck.

here is my setup:
ibm 60gb in ide 1 (master)
seagate 20gb in ide 3 (master)
seagate 20gb in ide 4 (master)

here is how i set up my array:

first i go in to my bios and set First Boot: floppy, Second Boot: raid, and Third Boot: cd-rom.(i also tried setting them all as raid as the manual suggests.. same results)

next i hit ctrl-h so i can create the array. i select create raid. i select stripping(raid 0) for my array mode. i select both seagate drives. i leave the striping size at 64k, and then i select start creation. and finally i select my boot disk and exit the bios utility.

after that i boot up with a winme boot disk. once i run fdisk, the only thing recognized is my ide ibm 60gig. for kicks i tried to run it without the ibm and of course it said there are no hard disks.

does anybody know what i am doing wrong?

that site had the exact answer i was looking for. thank you very much!

for all those curious, i had to unplug all of my other devices from ide 1 and ide 2. not very convienent but at least it works.
