Help! Vista beta 2, hard driver problem

Posted: 05-31-2006, 08:16 AM
My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-8I945P Pro, I have 2 maxtor 250G HDD and 1
Hitachi 180G HDD. I used matrix raid and made the maxtor HDD into two raid 0
HDD and left Hitachi HDD non-raid. I installed vista beta 2 into one raid 0
HDD
successfully. In device manager, it can show up all 3 hard drivers but in my
computer, it only shows drive C that I installed vista, other 2 hard drivers
missed.
Could any one help me to solve this problem.

Hi,

What do the properties of drive C: show for size? A Raid 0 configuration
stripes data across two drives, essentially treating them as one volume. I
suspect you will find that the size of C: will reflect that. If you run
diskmgmt.msc, what does it tell you about the remaining Hitachi drive?

Hi Rogers,
I've run the Disk Management, it showed up 3 hard drivers, disk 2 with
assigned letter C: which is NTFS file system (I installed vista here), while
other 2 hard drivers has no letter assigned for them and no file system, it
writen with "unknown partition", but in fact, I have installed window XP in
disk 1 and put all my data in disk 0. How should I do to read the data on
these two HDD?
Thanks

Sounds like the raid drivers are not installed in the Vista system.
