I have a ASUS A8N SLi deluxe with 2 x 320 plus 2 x 250 GB SATA drives on the NVRaid as ordinary drives.
I managed to creat a RAID 0 with 2 x 200 GB SATA drives on the SIL3114.
File format for the 379GB RAID failed under admin tools. When I wnet into the SIL Array Manager, one of the discs was greyed out, the other bright green (irrelevant I know).
Rebooted and went into SIL 3114 BIOS configuration and now cant create a RAID of any description as the full 379 GB is reserved.
I have no experience (except bad) of RAID, can someone tell me how to unreserve the space and re create the RAID.
PS I have had to disable the SIL3114 in the BIOS otherwise machine hangs in the text part of the boot.
Yours desperately seeking RAID
