Thanks for the reply.. It was in the link above (http://www.chizl.com/comp/), I just didn't want to fill up the page with the exact same info.

Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-53 Processor with HyperTransport Technology
Motherboard: ASUS® A8V Deluxe - VIA K8T800 Pro Motherboard

Yes, I've been into the Bios (AMIBIOS FastTrack 378). I don't see anything about a Raid under that.. This is a hardware raid coming right off the mother board. There is a raid configuration after the bios startup and I've going into it, but there's no disable, only create, delete, select boot array, and view.. I've deleted the array and it still looks for one so that's not working, I've recreated the array with the array drives in it, still doesn't work. This configuration can find the drives, its as if Windows install can not.

After deleting an array is there something like fdisk for arrays to create partitions or format? I was assuming Windows would do that for me, which it had in the past with NT 4. Maybe that's my whole mistake.. I'm not sure..

I'm about to throw this $4k box in the trashcan, I'm so ticked off about it.

Is it possibly a jumper setting?
