then it will "call" on the raid card before the windows drive


right now I suspect the windows hard drive is called upon before the raid card gets its chance

there should be some raid accelerator software with that card you can use to set the raid config you want and bring your raid drives to life

have you tried the manufacturers website ?
>Yeah...the Via site is a mess and almost impossible to find any information on it what so ever...


with this type stuff you really do get what you pay for that why I always look to promise brand controller cards for pci slot raid and sata controllers, they are easy to install, documentation is awesome and the driver & software cd come with it, simple raid cards start at around $40.00
