Raid Question

I am trying to get a raid setup to work

* Problem: when I set up the raid in the hpt370bios, it doesn't detect the array in windows, when I format the harddrive/s, so windows and detect it, it won't let me format the array, just the (2) ibm drives, when I do this, I don't have the raid array anymore, and when I go back to the hpt370 bios to set up the raid array again, I have to format again, is there anyway to aviod this or what am I doing wrong?

BTW, using the harddrive setup/formatter for ibm deskstar drives.

running (2) 15gig IBM 75gxp harddrive on a abit bx133 raid.

any info would be useful.

thanks
Jason
 
I tried it within the hpt370 bios, and when it finished my raid setup was only 10gig like my other harddrive and it wasn't any faster, am I doing something wrong?
 
Could you let me know what eventually works for you overclocker. If I don't sell them, I will
be doing RAID 0 with TWO Maxtor 51024U2 DiamondMax Plus, 7200 RPM, ATA-66 Hard Drives connected
to a Promis Fastrak 66 PCI controller card. I have some data I'd like to copy from another hard drive... please let me know at my e-mail address when you know what works best... Thanks... 🙂
 
After you set up the RAID array in the bios then reboot to DOS and run fdisk. Delete primary DOS from both drives and create a primary DOS partition for the largest size possible (2*HDD). Reboot back to DOS, format the drive and boot to Windows.
