Help with RAID
Hi guys,
I hope I can explain this correctly...
I have two 1tb spinpoint f3 hdd's and 1 ocz ssd. I setup raid on the two hdd, then I disconnected all drives except for the ssd and I installed W7 pro64. During the installation I installed the appropriate drivers for the ssd/raid.
So I boot up into win7 and download all the win updates etc. Then I shutoff and install the raid hdds. Boot up into windows and the raid drives dont show up. I checked disk management and the two 1tb drives show up as 1 drive but I need to format them. Do I choose NEW STRIPED VOLUME? Im confused about this, since I already setup raid via bios, wont this be like setting up software raid? Should I just choose setup new simple volume instead? Please help! I couldnt find the answer to this anywhere!
thank you in advance!!!
