Hey, this is my first raid setup and I've been struggling to get it setup correctly. Here is what I did (this round):
1. setup the bios for RAID
2. installed Intel raid drivers during Vista installation
3. Created a partition on each drive
4. Installed Vista on the drive in spot 0
5. Used Intel Raid Matrix to create a raid volume (raid 10) from an existing hard drive
6. Added the remaining 3 drives to the volume during installation
Intel Raid Matrix sees the raid and thinks everythings fine. On the other hand, when I view the properties of the drive in windows, it is showing up as having 500 gb free w/ 500 gb used (its a 2TB raid). I'm guessing I screwed something up during the installation?
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated as I've been struggling with this for the past day or two.
Thanks in advance!
