LSI Logic MegaRAID i4 only recognizes 131MB of 500MB

Next: Can I software RAID 1 two external (USB) hard drives?
From: Ben on 24 Jan 2008 23:47 So I went ahead and build my first RAID server: Motherboard: FoxConn 6100K8MA-RS RAID card: LSI Logic MegaRAID i4 Drives: 2x Seagate 500GB ATA100 - ST3500630A 2x Western Digital 500GB ATA100 - WD5000AAJB Unfortunately, the RAID card only recognizes each drive with only 131MB instead of 500MB when I fire up its configuration utility. I plugged them in one by one but still, none of them would register with anything more. Since I bought the RAID card used, I suspect that the setup of the previous owner is still resident. Any idea how to reset the card? - Ben

Are you sure that card, with its current BIOS, can address drives greater than 130 GB? -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz(a)nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |
