I just built a new system consisting of:
Intel e6420
Asus Commando
eVGA 8800gts
WD Raptor 74gb
2 x Hitachi Deskstar 320gb
Creative XFi soundcard
Samsung Sata DVDWriter
Samsung Floppy
Crucial Ballistix DDR-1000 2gb
When I first started the system up, I did not have the 2 deskstars hooked up. I loaded winxp on the raptor and installed all the drivers. Everything worked great.
I am now trying to install a raid 0 array on the 2 deskstars. I connected the drives, went into the bios and changed the sata to raid. Booted into the Intel Matrix storage manager and created the array. I named it HitachiRaid0, put the stripe at 64k and created it. Everything was good so far. I then exited the storage manager and rebooted the system. It boots like normal but when it gets to the winxp screen with the scrolling bar, it flashes to a blue screen for a split second and reboots itself. If I disable the raid in bios but leave the drives attached, it boots like normal and the drives are seen in the device manager.
I dont know if it matters, but I have the raptor in the sata 1 slot. The dvd writer in the sata 2 slot and the 2 deskstars are in slots 3 and 4. I tried moving them to 5 & 6 but the same thing happened.
Please Help.
Thanks,
Matt
