Hi guys/gals,

Here's my story:
Note: My main installation drive is a single 300GB SATA drive on it's
own. No RAID on that one, no nothing.

Installed Windows x64 Professional version onto the SATA drive and I lose
my JBOD array. I created a copy of x64 with my RAID driver integrated,
and during install it picks it up fine (JBOD: 260GB). After installing
I'm shown a single drive that when double clicked on, prompts me to format
it. Obviously I don't select this.

If I navigate to computer management and look at the drives, I see 2
drives that are meant to be in the RAID array. One is activated, but
can't be read (prompts me to format). The other is 'offline' or
inactivated. If I activate that drive, i don't get any new ones listed in
'My Computer' but it prompts me to convert it to a dynamic disk.

Any ideas why this is happening? My JBOD works fine in 32bit XP, but this
only happens in 64bit. Could it be a potential driver issue? Windows
issue?

Any advice welcome,
Rich.
