Hi, all.
I'm setting up a RAID array on my computer consisting of 4x 3TB drives. I'm using the Intel ICH10R chip on my Asus P6X58D-E motherboard for this.
After wrangling with my motherboard including flashing the BIOS, I was able to get the drives to be recognised as 2.7TB properly rather than the 700GB annoyance that's caused on some older motherboards. Assuming everything was well and good, I initialised the array at boot using the Intel RAID utility, and went ahead with installing Windows 8 on my SSD (it's not connected to the Intel ports on my motherboard, but to the other ones, so there'll be no issues with that).
Now with Windows 8 installed, it's -just not seeing- the RAID array even though the system tells me at boot that the four drives are RAIDed. It's showing them as four individual 700GB drives, and I've just got no idea where to go from here.
Any suggestions?
This is what the Intel and the Windows config screens look like, if that's any help.
