November 22, 200520 yr Commercial Member Thought it would be a no brainer as I already have 1 SATA drive installed and several IDE drives also.Here are the two issues where I could use some help:1. I want to run the SATA disks as seperate drives, not an Array RAID 0 or an Array RAID 1, or RAID 0+1, but I see no selection to run them independantly.2. And probably even more important, first I can't see the drive at all in order to format or partition it (maybe that's why an option is not available for question 1 yet?).I have it connected in one of the two SATA connections found on my ASUS board. And the drivers for the RAID/SATA must be installed correctly since I am already using one SATA?I tried looking for the drive using MS Windows Aministrtative Tools in the Computer management section, no luck. I also tried using Partician Magic to see the drive... again no luck?Any help on this would be grateful.

November 22, 200520 yr Author Commercial Member Well, silly me. Found the answer. On my Asus P4P800-e Deluxe motherboard there are actually 4 SATA connections: 2 for a RAID Array and 2 for typical SATA drives. Guess who had it plugged in the wrong socket! ;) (Well, it was blocked by some cables so I didn't se it).Ah... if only all FS issues could be solved so easily.
