I've got a P5Q motherboard with four 1 tb drives set up in a raid 5 array. My problem is that when I start the Vista 64 installation I get to the part to choose a drive and load raid drivers. Once I load up the raid drivers, my raid is showing up but I get a prompt saying windows fails to locate a drive thats meets the criteria - or something similar so I cannot proceed.
I am only using 1 stick of ram, have flashed the bios to the latest version on the Asus site, loaded up the latest drivers from their site as well - all with the same results. I've tried to lower the size of the partition to below 2 tb and that did not help. I did notice that when I am in the raid manager that the raid reports as a non bootable drive when I set it to use all 4 drives in the raid 5.
I apologize for my ignorance
but any help is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
