From Raid 0 to **HELL**

[yenevoc]

Help needed ASAP

I originaly had two SATA Maxtor drives set as raid 0. This was on an ASUS K8VSE Deluxe on the VIA connectors.

For speed I put a Raptor on the promise connectors. Now I cant get the maxtors to format.

Help, I belive I have tried everything, MAXBLAST 4, disk managment. Tried installing XP on the drives and no go.

HELP PLEASE

The plan was to use the two drives just for storage/no OS.

The drives are seen by the VIA BIOS.

I have tried varios rebuilds on the Array, wanted JBOD for space.

Have tried install XP hoping this would sort the problem, but XP wont format, problem with the drives!

Any help please

Can anyone help any further as the promise drive has Raptor and maxtor drive on the SATA.

Basicaly I want four hard drives running from this motherboard

Is it worth getting another motherboard as I believe this is the issue?
