Intel SATA Raid problem?
I tried to install a couple of WD SATA drives in a RAID 0 (striped)
configuration, and during the Windows XP Pro install, it asks for the driver, I load it (x.x.34), but Windows doesn't seem to like the configuration. I sees the whole partition, and will create a partition on it, but then says the partition isn't usable by Windows XP. The partition is labeled as a "New (RAW)" partition, and I never get the opportunity to install, format, or anything else. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a solution? Thanks for any help. |

I don't believe so, but if the feature is working properly, XP will see it
as a single disk, and then create a partition as needed. It does see the array as a single disk, and creates a partition, but then says the partition is unsuitable. Never seen this before...
