Windows can't see my drives on my P5AD2-E Premium...
Hi,
I previously had a Windows XP installation, with the hack published on
Tom's hardware to make software RAID5 available in XP.
I therefore had 1 SATA drive as the XP drive, and 4 other SATA drives
in RAID5, connected to the Silicon Image controller.
Now, I want to reinstall XP, not using RAID5.
If I boot up with the Asus utility disk and run FDISK, I can see the
drives. They had some weird partition type, and so I deleted the weird
partitions, so that I now have 4 unpartitioned drives.
When I boot up the new XP (without the hack), I can't see the drives,
whether it be in Windows Explorer, Disk Management, Partition Magic or
Seagate Disk Wizard.
What do I need to do in order to see my drives in Windows ?
Do I need to partition in FDISK, and if so, what kind of partition
(they are 200Gig disks) ?
Do I need to install a Silicon Image driver, and if so, which one,
where do I find it, and how do I install it ?
Help !
