Latest drivers and BIOS installed...........
The SATA hd's are all (3 of them) brand new Seagate 120 GB. As I type this I am reinstalling the OS on the RAID 0 array, for good measure I have physically disconected the single SATA HD.
Here's and interesting question. All the indications (disk manager, SATARaid GUI, my computer etc) all tell me that all three HD's are installed, formatted and working. The RAID utility feature tells me I have one set of RAID 0 set up.
I can only boot up when the BIOS is set to SATA RAID FUNCTION DISABLED............
However everything seems to be working fine and the housing that contains the 2 RAID disks is warm and you can feel it vibrating (computer case open and the seperate HD housing on the floor at the moment)
Could the BIOS be giving me duff information ? How can I tell if the RAID 0 is working ?

FBW
