I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a machine I built last month. I was running three hard disks, two in bootable Raid 1 and the other as a hot spare on which I could write backup files.
One of the raid disks failed. The intel raid software worked very well, if somewhat slowly, taking 4 hours to reform my raid array with the hot spare.
I have now replaced the dud drive. However I've got recognition problems. Device Manager can see the disk and reports it's working OK. Computer cannot find it. I've plugged in my external e-sata disk, and Windows recognises that straight away.
BIOS does recognise the drive, but thinks it's a raid drive. The raid controller recognises it.
In the old pre vista days I would be looking to format the new disk, but I don't seem to have such an option in Vista.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
