Raid Config Utility

[itwgas]

well, im trying to set my 2xRaptor 74gb at Raid0, but i cant get the raid utility to pop up so i can set it. i dont know what im doing wrong. i've started from a fresh reformat a few times and all i can get is the f6 option. i've installed my drivers via floppy, but it seems like my MB is not recognizing my two drivers. i've checked my bios to see if i can set my raid up, i cant find it. unless im overlooking it somewhere. f4 doesnt work. my post page only gives me the "del" option and then windows boots up right away after that. any help.

hit that "del" and go into bios, enable RAID Control - On in bios

next time it boots, your raid controller settings should kick in after bios loading and go from there. Check online for your updated bios/cmos. your board is rather old right?

ok, i found it in my bios. anyways, now that i have raid initialized, i cant boot into windows. i've got it set to raid 0. it asks me for my "system disk." hmmm, what may that be? if i load a silicon image 32bit raid driver from floppy, it says that im missing "NTLDR." am i missing something again?

the drivers you have on that floopy isn't made for XP or NT platform i think, go download latest drivers.....extract them out on a floopy and retry.

The motherboard CD should have the drivers on it also. Try that CD

well, in made a sill3132r5 disk and setup seems like it wants to install, but during windows install, it says that it cant find any hard drives on my computer. thats only if i have my HD set to stripe-raid 0. raid in bios is set also. what is the missing link.
