Hey all, just got my DS3 MB and I have everything set up, system posted, made my initial settings and loaded WIN XP, using F6 loaded the JM RAID driver and set it up for RAID 1 using Cntry G.
Anyway, system was happy and everything was going along great, WIN asked to formate drive, I did the "long" format and thats where I'm stuck, system is still sitting at 2%!!!!! How long is this supposed to take to formate (all day)?
Thanks.

BAD DRIVE
Well, I took each drive and put it on the Intel ICH8 chip (one at a time) and sure enough one of the drives gets stuck at 2% of format, while the other is currently at 49% and still going.
Soooo, RMA to Newegg and my Raid 1 on the JM will have to wait
p.s. thats what I get for ordering OEM drives (cant really trust the good one now), also, it does take a long time to format a 250Gig drive, would have thought it would be faster.
