Question Errors configuring RAIDXpert2

[nuttynut]

I am having some difficulty setting up RAID on an ASRock FM2A68M-DG3+ Mobo. When I run rcadm.efi and enter rcadm -M -id -d 0 1 to initialize the drives I get the following message:

Uninitialized disk or disk with unknown state found
Unknown Online, Disk 0

Before I go an alternate route, I wanted to see if anyone knows why this is happening.

1. Check your drive that was connected into the 0 port to see it has problem or not. How to https://www.howtogeek.com/134735/how-to-see-if-your-hard-drive-is-dying/
2. also google " AMD-RAIDXpert2 User Guide", read it first, then try again.

Drive appears to be working just fine and is brand new. I should also have mentioned that the error repeats for Disk 1 also. And I read ASRock's RAID manual before starting.

I'm thinking that it might be better at this point to just buy a cheap RAID card like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS9212-4i4e-6Gb-s-PCIe-x8-RAID-SAS-SATA-Controller-Card/133024753980

If your HDD have problem, or they are going to die, you will get problem too even you use the RAID card. So if the HDD has problem, buy the new one.
