When I install windows XP on my computer my raid hard drive isn't recognized. XP sees that there is some device there, but doesn't give the drive a letter.
The RAID controller on my Epox 8K7A+ mobo is installed correctly. Here is my hard drive arrangement:
1 IBM 60 gig 60GXP drive partitioned into a 7.5 gig and remaining space. Then two IBM 40 gig 60GXP drives in RAID-0 to be one large 80 GIG.
I've alsot tried partitioning the 80 gig so that it has a primary 5 gig and then the remainder and that didn't work either. Is this a major problem? I've heard lots of people are having problems with RAID setups and windows XP. Is it also possible that I should install partition magic in XP and format the Drive while in XP?
