Just bought a pair of 150Gb raptors and I decided to set them up in raid 0
,initially both drives where picked up but when I set them in raid they dissappeared, what have I done wrong, my board is set to allow sata and bios are updated what else do I need to do,
I currently run a 40gb for OS and a 120gb storage which I will be adding the raptors to boost the storage, my mobo is an asus A7N8X-E old I know but its done well.

So any advise would be appreciated.
 
Thanks I am only putting them in raid to get to grips with the whole raid setup and eventually I will switch them to OC drives but for now while I play about they can be storage .
 
Ok there in raid and windows detects them in the hardware section but when I look for them in explorer as a drive there not there, also when I delete the raid setup and have them seperate there not detected either , but before when I tested them they showed straight up, the only thing is when I tested them I only had one sata lead so they got tested one at a time,also all the Mobo drivers are upto date as far as I know .
They just arnt registering in explorer.
 
I downloaded these drivers for the HDD- Silicon_SATA1.0.50 couldnt see any others and by drive management what do you mean exactly , also when I hit F4 to create the raid setup I have individually formatted both drives but it wont let me fomatte them as one.
 
Done it I was looking in sytem instead of admin tools but I created a partion and formatted it an hey presto a new drive , the only thing is it only picks up 289GB is that normal is the rest taken up by the raid settings. :D
