I got my raid card yesterday [Promise SuperTrak SX6000] and I set up a nice Raid 5 array with 4 80 GB maxtor Harddisks.
Windows sees the 240 GB "drive" and I can perfectly make partitions on it. But when I try to format em the progress meter will go to 100% and stay there forever [I let it run overnight and after 9 hours it was STILL sitting there on 100%]
I tried several partition sizes: 240GB, 120 GB, 10 GB, 5 GB and 24MB. Only the 24 MB partition was formatted correctly. The rest had the stuck-at-100%-problem.
I heard I had to install Win2K SP² but that was to no avail, the same problem still exists. I also installed another RAM module on the Raid card, but still no change.
Even PQmagic wouldnt format [it will hang at 0% or 1%].
How can I get this stuff to work¿
Im trying to get it to work for DAYS now, and I have ran out of fresh ideas to try
Specs:
Promise SuperTrak SX6000 Raid card @ raid 5
4x80 GB Maxtor HDs
Win2K SP²
