Click to expand...

So in addition to the two drives in the array, you also have additional HDD's installed?

yes i have a standard sis raid 0 array i just cant install on my nv raid 0 setup i would like to use the tb of space i paid for im just not sure what the hell is going on with it

Are you installing the latest nForce SATA RAID driver version 6.22 (WHQL) at the F6 screen? And are you following the instructions for installing the NV RAID drivers, contained within the PDF downloadable from nVidia here?...

... and what model/size HDD's are connected to the NV RAID controller?
