Hello,
I'm replacing 8 RAID 0 arrays in 8 different PC's; info follows. What I did with the first one was to just remove the disks, then install the new disks - setup the array via BIOS (CTRL+I) and then use disk manager to set them up for use... The first one worked fine without a hitch. The 2nd one however is giving me a problem. I removed the disks, installed new ones, set them up via the CTRL+I and then got into windows. At this point I saw them in Windows Device Manager, and then moved to Disk Manager but can't see the array. I've tried R+Click > Uninstall from Device Manager, then Hardware wiz says it's found the array, but then again - it doesn't show up in Disk Manager - so... I can't format it. I do see in Intel Matrix Monitor (?) says that: "System Volume: No" but other wise it says its fine...
