Hi,

I am running Vista Home Premium. I had been running 2 Western Digital
500GB drives in RAID 0 mode. The external enclosure was a Fantom
enclosure.

The controller was going bad, so I bought a Xtrastor 3.5 x2 HDD
enclosure which supports RAID 1.

Anyhow, when I hook it up via USB, it only detects an 8GB drive. Once
I got it to detect it as a 75GB drive. If I hook it up as an eSATA,
Vista does not see it at all......

It should detect close to 500GB since the other 500GB is for the RAID
1.

I have a PB5 motherboard. I have tried a lot of things via the cables
and re-booting and such, no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

John

What happens when you connect the drives individually to a SATA port on the
mobo?
