Windows XP / Raid0 Problem...possibly?

[Wuzup101]

Hey all I got a wierd problem. I recently noticed my newely updated system now running WinXP (full format and reinstall not upgrade) is having some raid troubles. The drives perform flawlessly from a lack of errors stand point. And though they seem plenty fast, they benchmark quite slow for a raid aray in pcmark2k2 and sandra. Sandra puts them almost exactly on par with a single 7200rpm drive ata100. When I use to run win98 they were shown as being on par with sandra's 7200rpm ata100 raid0 system. I really don't understand what the heck the problem is. When I installed XP I used the most recent Raid drivers from Iwill's site for the the board (these drivers are still the most recent). I really can't figure out what's wrong with this dam system. The funny thing is I can't find the American Megatrends Raid drivers in my Device Manager. There is an AMI MEGAide scsi device in the "disk drives section" and an scsi/raid host controler in the scsi and raid section, but neither of these show drivers by AMI...they are both generic XP drivers. Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. I didn't change the array from when I had it running in 98. It's just using NTFS now instead of FAT32, and the stripe size has remained at 64.

I am not quite sure of this but it did help me. I system information there is something called system back up or system image or something I can not remember but if you turn it off you get more on your benchmarks. I personally do not worry about it because I ghost.
