<SPAN class=ip-normal-font>Hi. I'm trying to set up a RAID1 array on my new Asus A7V333 using the onboard Promise controller with two new identical 80G Maxtor drives. Right now I'm booting to my old hard drive on a regular IDE channel (trying to leave it there 'til the array is set up, then Drive Image to the array).
With no array defined, when boot up reaches the 'no array defined press ESC to continue booting' stage, I hit ESC and the controller automatically creates an array and reboots! I cannot bypass the RAID controller without creating an array. It was doing it fine before, and I can't remember at what point it changed. This kind of lack of control makes me very insecure 8-o
With an array created (whether the automatic one or one I define), FDisk only sees my new drives as 10G! =:-\
Any ideas what's up here much appreciated.
Peace
