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

You shouldn't expect a raid volume created by one controller to
be useable by another. It almost never works. If you can't find an
indentical controller to replace the failed one with you'll almost
certainly need to delete and recreate the raid volume.
