Need Help RAIDing 2 X 200GB WD Drives -------> HELP!

[svagal8869]

Hey guys. I need some help deciding on what i need to work out this problem.

I have a KT7-A Raid mobo and i have 3 hard drive that i recently bought, one is a 80GB Western Digital caviar with XP pro on it, and 2 X 200GB WD caviar hard drives(slave).

I'm trying to raid the 2 X 200GB hd's into a RAID - 0 cofig. but when i try to creat a raid for them in the BIOS it only shows up with 137GB of HD space for each drive.

So how is it possible for me to RAID the 2 X 200GB hd's with RAID 0 config.?????????

First thing is to get the system seeing all of the drives.
Here's a link to a Microsoft knowledge base article that discusses how:

You may also need to visit Abit's web site and download and flash the BIOS.
Did the motherboard come with a manual that describes how to set up RAID?

I have the same MB you do.
the Highpoint Raid controller probably needed to be upgraded. (when you flash the BIOS you can upgrade the Highpoit controller BIOS)
there are two versions of the board. Do you have the 1.3 ver.?
here is a site with a great FAQ and the most current BIOS upgrades.
