So, I loaded Vista 64 onto the new machine.

EVGA X58 Motherboard
WD Velociraptor 300GB
2-Seagate 500GB in RAID-0

After starting the Vista install, it comes to the drive selection screen. It sees the WD, but not the RAID. Of course after loading the JMicron drivers off the disk it now sees the 1TB RAID drive.

I select the WD as the install drive, complete the install, all is well.

Except when I open My Computer...no second drive there, just the WD.

I've tried turning the SATA mode in the bios to RAID and IDE, no luck on either. The bios sees the drive, the JMicron bios shows the drive loading during the post screen, but Vista is not picking it up after the install completes.

Any ideas?
