Set up a SATA RAID

[Jollywg]

Hello, I have two identical 750gb hard drives. When i load Windows XP my computer does not recognize more than 131gb?? Why is this and how do i fix it. I though that if i used a raid that might be the answer? Also my hard drives are not formatted. How can i do this, because when i get XP loaded it doesn't even recognize the other hard drive, or the left over partition of the drive that windows is loaded on. The only part it sees is the 30gb that i have partitioned for Windows.

Any input is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I'm moving this to the Windows Forum, seeing as how most of your questions are pertaining to XP.

Oh ok thank you. I didn't know where a hardware question would go.

OK, the reason that Windows isn't showing the rest of the drive is probably, that it isn't formatted and possibly not even partitioned.

To do that, follow the instructions from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000/
