Raid 0 Problem.

Background: I run a 60GB Vertex SSD for windows and two WD Caviar Blacks in raid 0 for everything else.


Yesterday I got through putting together the rest of my new build(basically new everything) w/ exception of drives. I started computer up entered bios, set 1-4 to raid and 5-6 to IDE. Everything booted up fine, RAID was there and was accessible. So today I re-install a clean windows 7 on the SSD. Go to boot up the comp, check bios and everything looks fine(bios see's the raid) restart and next screen is raid check screen(raid is functional and pass' test) Get to windows and no raid at all. Ive gone into the manage drives section and nothing. Its like windows does not even know it exists.

Im trying to figure out whats going on. Im running an ASUS Crosshair IV. Ive found on their site a some downloads to make a raid driver disk, but Im not exactly sure how to load them or if its even the problem.

Any idea's?

Edit: Wow...Installed the new chipset drivers which included RaidXpert which fixed the problem.

Check Control Panel/Admin Tools/ComputerManagement/Drive Management and check the assigned drive letters to make sure they are all there and not omitted because of duplicate letters. If that is OK, then diconnect the missing drives and hot plug them. You may have to rebuild the array. I'm confused about 5-6 as IDE. Are the rest SATA? What drives are PATA?

Thanks I figured it out. Basically on this MOBO and any other Ive messed with. If your going to set a raid on 1-4 than 5-6 can only be set to raid or IDE.
 
OK - that makes sense. I have never done RAID on my mobo - always have used a separate card with its own BIOS. That avoids a lot of problems.
