Win 2K doesn't see my RAID 0 drive... What's wrong?

[Matt L]

I'm redoing my growing HTPC and have come across a problem. I'm using the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP MB with the on-board raid setup. I decided to go for speed so I'm using RAID 0. I have 2 80G HDs that I had been using as drive C and D in a non-RAID setup. I configured them for RAID and dropped the WIN2K disk in the CD drive but after it loads it doesn't see the HD. I've told WIN 2K I have RAID drivers and it installs them but with no luck.

I've even gone so far as to FDISK it with a Win 98 boot disk and format 5% of the drive. Win 98 finds it fine, Win 2K finds nothing. What am I doing wrong? I just got my DVD burner and was looking forward to dumping things off my TiVo this weekend but i have to solve this first.

I'm not possitive this will help, but I set up a raid 0 array on gigabyte
GA 81EXP a while back had the same trouble. Posted here
and If I remember correctly just after memory test you'll be
prompted to press F6 to install raid drivers,from floppy (was told this
was the easiest way with my paticular board) Do this and then
install Win 2K. Had to download drivers to floppy to install as
they weren't sent with board.
There were a couple of people here that really helped me out.
I wish I could remember who. Hope I've been of some help.

Thanks, but I found the problem, I was installing the wrong drivers. On the screen it said MBFast Track 133 so I was using those from the CD. But there was also another set in the folder that was for a different controller. I loaded them both and it found the drive and all is well.
