Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Controller
Hi all, new to the forums I have been fighting with my PCI IDE Raid card. I have it set up as RAID, I have been through F3 and set up which disk is the primary and secondary. In Vista I can see both drives in explorer and disk manager. However... I'm not sure that RAID is working, I have set it up as mirroring, so I would expect both disks to have the same data on. If I copy something new to the primary disk it doesn't automatically get copied to the secondary one. Am I missing something here? The install went OK and I can see the Sil680 SCSI adapter in Device Manager, the driver is up to date and there is no yellow dot against it. Hope someone can help Thanks -- Xorro |

Hi,
If you can see them as two separate disks, then the raid is not set up correctly. To the operating system, a hardware raid set to mirror should show as a single volume. Are you installing a raid driver during setup? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Xorro" wrote in message ...
