My problem is this:
I have an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe MOBO. My OS is Windows XP Pro and is on a seperate disk. I bought 2 Samsung 250 gig HDD's to install and setup as RAID 0 to run games off. In the BIOS I enabled the disks to be configuered as RAID disks. I exited the BIOS, then pressed F10 and used the nVidia RAID Utility to create the RAID volume. No problems so far, the Utility sees my RAID array and reports it as healthy, striped and showing a capacity of some 465.76GB or thereabouts.
I then allow the system to boot into Windows. When I go to the Disk Management Tool in Windows to format the disks, it sees a new disk and reports it as Basic and Online but only shows a capacity of 232.88 gig.
The OS is not seeing my RAID setup. When I reboot and press F10 again to enter the nVidia RAID Utility, it shows the array and reports it as healthy and having a capacity of 465.76GB.
Why isn't Windows seeing the same thing??
I've probably overlooked something very basic, but I'd appreciate any help you can give on this.
Thanks.
