I have 3 HDD: 74Gb WD Raptor and 2x36GB WD Raptors.
I installed WinXp Sp2 on to 74Gb WD Raptor.
Than I decided to make RAID 0 (strip) with two 36Gb HDDs. I installed latest JMicron driver in Windows, afterwards I went to BIOS, chosen IDE Configuration as “Raid”, pressed “Control I” and set up RAID 0 with two 36Gb HDDs. But after installation of RAID, Windows could not boot. If I change IDE Configuration back to “IDE” Windows boot normally from 74Gb WD Raptor and I can access one of 36Gb HDDs (second one appears as unformatted). But as soon as I change IDE Configuration to “Raid” Windows again can not boot.
What do I do wrong? Do I suppose to install JMicron driver from the floppy disk during WinXP installation or I was right installing it from the Win OS? Did I miss something?
Please help!
