RE: How can I use 2 raid 0 arrays on ASUS A8V Deluxe with OnBoard VIA and Promise RAID Controller.

Hello -
I just bought 2 identical Seagate 320gb SATA drives to increase storage capacity of my system. I am already using 2 80GB deskstar sata drives as Raid 0 on Promise. I have been trying to add a new raid 0 array with those 2 identical Seagate 320gb SATA drives using VIA raid controller on Asus A8V board. I created raid 0 array for 2 320GB Seagate drives, using Via raid bios utility. When re-start my pc, the windows cannot find these drives and Via Raid tool shows status of these drives "Failed". Is possible have raid 0 array using Promise controller and another raid 0 array using Via controller on Asus A8V deluxes mobo?
If it is possible - how can I add new 2x Seagate 320gb sata drives as raid 0 using Via to work with current Raid 0 using Promise controller?

Thank you for your help

My PC specs: Raidmax ATX tower, 6 fans, 650watts Rosewill psu, Asus A8V Deluxe mobo, AMD 64X2-4400 (2.8ghz) cpu, 2GB memory, 2x80GB IBM Desktar on Raid 0 (using Promise), 1x dvd-rw, 1x cd-rw, ATI Radeon X1950.
