Try using a third-party partition utility like Partition Magic to format the drive. Paragon was giving away its Hard Disk Manager software for free a while back. (It also comes with an ISO for a boot CD - unlike PM which only makes floppies - to be able to use the software without actually installing it.
Thanks for the reply. The first time I formatted it with partition magin I did it usinf NTFS and still got the error. The I tried Fat32. It seemed to work, but I am still not convinced that I wont lose data later on.
It was also a little buggy with XP and Vista together on a raid 0+1. So I have decided to redo the whole thing and not use Vista. Also, I have an X1900 AIW and the TV Tuner doesnt work in vista, ATI doesnt have drivers for it. So I am going to stick with XP.
