Is the raid array working?

[Chockyson]

Have recent purchase of an abit KT7-raid board and 2 20gig Quantum Fireball Lm 7200rpm hard drives. Got it running with one 20 gig drive and fresh install of Win98se and not utilising the onboard raid controller. Then tried to install the second 20 gig drive. Again both drives formatted, enabled the highpoint raid controller in bios, created the array in the raid bios, both hard HDD's showing in the raid bios, selected both, selected one as the boot HDD. Then preceded to install Win98. Once Win98 was installed checked drive capacity of C to which it only showed 20 gig. I had selected striping (raid 0)in the raid bios so was expecting 40 gig to show.
On the initial boot of motherboard my cdrw shows as the master on the pimary ide channel, the raid bios then kicks in and shows the 2 HDD and the striping mode on the 2 HDD shows. The 2 HDD are on the primary master and secondary master of ide 3 and 4 (the raid ide interface).

The rest of my setup is a Duron 700, 256mb pc133 generic (no problems), geforce 32mbDDR, sounblaster live 1024, basic software modem, freecom cd re-writer, samsuung 12x DVD-Rom and 300 Watt power supply.

So the basic question, is the array working? I don`t think so. So how do I get it to work properly, or can someone point me to a web site where they take you through the raid setup step by step?

If you are running a stripe set, then you should be getting 40Gb total capacity, so no, your array isn't working. To get it to work, I do believe that provided everything is connected properly and setup in the BIOS properly you need to run FDISK, delete all of your partitions, then you should be able to create a single 40Gb partition.

Anyone else on the subject?
