Okay so I've put together a new computer and all the hardware is working correctly and heres the specs:
2.4ghz p4
2 gigs of Twinx Corsair DDR 400
Asus P4C800D (i875 Canterwood)
2 WD360 Raptors SATA
Okay so I set up or tried to set it up as RAID 0, I set up the array rebooted, and made sure to set up the Bios correctly. Everything fine a this point. I copy my Promise 378 drivers from my support cd to a floppy. as well as make a floppy disk with the FDISK utility. here where i think I messed things up I ran FDISK, did some kind of partition thing I think...I jus followed the likely choices. Now i reboot and weet up windows from CD, press f6 to install 3rd party drivers and such then I choose the XP drivers. I start installing windows and it partitions 2 drives one was 68 gigs one was 2 gigs? I'm not sure why it did this? Culd it be the fdisk utility? I made the the drives as NTFS. Okay nad heres another thing when I look at the drive properties of both they say something like promise SCSI drives, shouldn't it say SATA drives or is windows getting confused and thinking they are SCSI drives? any help would be great.
