Windows Explorer does not see my RAID 0
Windows Explorer does not see my RAID 0. I have a new build with an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 mobo, Intel i7-920 cpu, and 12 GB of Corsair Dominators. During setup, I configured a RAID 0 with 2 new formatted but otherwise clean 7200 1TB Hitachi Deskstar SATA HDs. I then did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64, following all directions, and apparently without a hitch, on a 500GB Samsung HD502HJ SATA HD. The system boots up and works as expected, except that Windows Explorer does not see the RAID 0. It shows up in the device manager, but I can't use it. When I go to disk management the RAID 0 drive is identified as "Disk 0," "Dynamic" and as having "1862.9GB Unallocated." There is no drive letter assigned, and right clicking on it provides no opportunity to do so. It only opens a window with options to either start a wizard to create a new simple volume or to display the drive properties . Can anyone tell me what I need to do to use this storage as RAID 0?
