Post subject: Raid drives not seen when third drive is added Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>installation_setup (more info?)
I have been able to install vista ultimate 64 to a mirrored raid drive
setup.
On the bios - asus m2npv-vm (nvidia) - I have the two sata drive
connections set as raid enabled.
I have the other two sata drive connections set as raid NOT enabled.
so...
I have vista running on the raid drives. mirrored.
I add a second hard drive...single drive, not raided, into the drive
connector slot.
instantly, upon restart the new drive, not raided, is set to C: and the
mirrored drive set is set to D: or something else. This cripples my
vista, as it looks to C: for the boot partition (or something like that)
What am I missing? How can I get the mirrored raid to be my C: drive
and remain this way!!!! even upon adding new non raided, single drives?

Is your mirrored raid drive set Active?
What letter is assigned to it?

I am confused by "set Active"?
I am currently running off of just the mirrored drive set.
currently Vista sets the label at C: of the mirrored drive set.
if I add in another drive (set in the bios to NOT be a raid...thus
making this the third drive in my computer)... then vista recognizes the
new drive as C: and reassigns the mirrored drive set to D: or something
else.

Open Disk Management, in Vista, and see what it reports for your mirrored
set
