I need help with RAID 0 1

[Scandal22]

I just bought 2 WD HD's 80 gig both clean, im tryin to set up a raid with High point, in the cmos. I set it up fine and its reconized by the windows utility. but when i go to my computer i dont see my raid. i see the raid under disks in the manager. so i know its reconized. but all it shows is my 1 harddrive in the ide port. any sugestions? thank you

How big is the one drive that is reported? If it is 160Gb then the RAID is working fine.

You need to go to Control Panel, Administrative Options, Computer Management. Click on the Disk Manager. You should see your RAID 0 drive listed there. Add a signature, and format, and you're good to go.
