I have a 74gb Raptor 10,000 SATA HD and I can't get it to work. Whenever I close the jumper on my mobo to enable SATA, Windows won't boot. I tried fromatting the drive with partition magic and that got me a little farther in the WIN XP loading process, but not much. Heard of this bug before? ANy ideas?? Please help!

Sorry about the vague question. I booted into windows in safe mode and the drive was recognized. It reported 69gb. I figured that was due to the RAID array, but I am unfamiliar with RAID so maybe not. I think I installed the drivers in windows. I right clicked on the .inf file that came on my RAID controller diskette and clicked install. I also rebooted into a DOS session and ran the install there. Is there a driver that I need for windows that you are aware of? Please keep me posted and thanks for the reply!
ah ha. I will try that and let you know. Thanks!
