RAID setup hangs

Bones · 16 May 2006 at 18:44

Just got my 2nd WD 36.7gb raptor, plugged it into my onboard RAID controller, detected fine. shows as:

Sil3112A Silicon Image Inc:

*0 PM WDC WD360GD00FLA2 35304mb
1 SM WDC WD360GD00FLCO 35304mb

i formatted the old one and tryed create a RAID 0 array, but when i click the create button its goes to the next screen and hangs! no resonse at all numlock wont even work?

I am just wondering have i missed anything or is it a fault with the Motherboard (which is a Sapphire A9RD480Adv *rubbish i know*) perhaps jumpers on the drives?

Anyone have an idea whats going on here?

shameless bump, sitting here unable to do anything can someone help?

i formatted both drives, still hangs, Is it right to leave the jumper on the setting they comes on?

Also is there a chance that the model is slighty different, as i bought the first Raptor a while ago from OC

ok i'll try and remove the jumpers. all i want to do is get the RAID setup then partition the drive into 2 - one for OS (from a Norton Ghost image) and one for Games.

Trying to find a Firmware upgrade for the motherboard but no luck there either.

Thanks for the help
