Hello, everyone! I am begging for your help after I tried for a whole day to set up RAID 0 on my KG7-RAID system, unsuccessfully. I would like to have RAID 0 set up on a new Red Hat 7.3 installation. I have two HDDs of the same major characteristics (size, seek time, RPMs, etc.) except for being from different manufacturers hooked up to ID3 and IDE4. The RAID 0 setup went well in the BIOS but after the Linux install starts Red Hat consistently notices the RAID as two separate drives, /dev/hde and /dev/hdg. I cannot make Redhat see them as one 80GB HDD (each HDD has 40GB size). I tried to install the HPT drivers during the linux installation by having the install ask me for the HPT floppy with the HPT drivers - but to no avail. Notably enough, though, I had no problem whatsoever installing Windows XP or Windows 2000 (this one after I gave the installation the HPT drivers for Windows 2000). Windows saw the hard drives as one HDD, just as it is supposed to be, and it installed without any glitches. I even formatted the whole RAID drive under windows (I think I did FAT32) and then I rebooted into the RedHat install but then Red hat would see two HDDs again and tell me the partition types would not be recognized or something of that nature and would ask me to repartition and format the HDDs which brought me back to where I was before... I can live with Windows for a week or two, however, I need Red Hat and I would appreciate any input, any ideas, about what I might try, because I ran out of ideas myself. Thank you for your attention! Roumen. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus ? Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
