I had a 2.82TB JBOD setup un xp 32 sp2. I backup the raid, then deleted it. I
added another 1TB drive. I rebuild the JBOD as before. Disk manger does not
see it. Medishield setup sees it but not xp32. under xp 64 no problem. I
have upgraded to sp3 and the latest drivers, still xp 32 does not see the
JBOD. Any sugessions?

Isn't 2.2TB another magic capacity limit ? You need something like
GPT for it. And in the first article here, I don't see WinXP x32 in the
table of GPT supporting OSes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

More info here. It says WinXP x32 does not do GPT.

Be very careful, what you do next. You don't want to lose the
data while making changes.
