Hi,

I assumed this was possible. I have already two drives in RAID 0. I want to install an extra SATA drive. Windows recognized the drive on bootup but it doesn't show up in My Computer. XP's "Disk Management" shows the new drive in the bottom pane as Disk 1. But it does not appear in the top pane, so I don't have the options to format, partition, or assign a drive letter.

What step am I missing?


Thanks

Can you right click on it and set it as active?

Hmm, I'm surprised I didn't notice before and feel pretty foolish now, but I could right click to the right of Disk 1 and create a partition.
