RAID in Vista
Hi,
As a newbie, I got an "expert" to install Vista Home Premium on my computer( Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro SLI , 2 HDD's) but was told by him that Vista does not support mirror RAID so the second HDD was listed as an IDE in the BIOS. (My previous XP pro setup ran mirror RAID) The RAID array screen only shows one HDD. Is there some way that I can change the setup to a RAID 1 mirror without having to reinstall Vista? Would be grateful for any help. -- Peter |

I do not see any Vista drivers on Gigabyte's web site for your motherboard. I am currently running RAID 1 (mirror) on a GA-8i955x Royal motherboard with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. The driver was downloaded from Gigabyte's web site. Your "expert" needs some additional education. |
