hi all
ok im trying to install windows xppro on to 2 maxtor diamond max10 80 gig sata drives in a raid array of any type0/1/1+0 (i reallly dont care as long as they work) through a ga-k8ns gigabyte mobo but it wont recognise them after the initial loading up,iv pressed f6 and installed what i got off the mobo disc and put onto a floopy but again it still wont recognise anything
when i put my old hd in and boot up with that as a master then i can see them in device manager and theres a safely remove hardware icon in the task bar so and iv used the maxblast4 utility to try and do it through that,it says they are ready for use but nothing happens when i boot up,its all just the same.....im even thinking of ditching windows for another OS system (any good 64 bit OS out there for ,me to try?) just to get them working
any help would be appreciated
amg64 3000+
1.5 gig ddr 400 crucial ram
anything else you need to know?
thx
