(8) Question: Windows does not detect the hard drive(s) or RAID array(s) attached to the host adapter card.
The host adapter's BIOS does detect the drives. What can I do to correct this problem?
Answer:
Make sure the drive or array has been partitioned and formatted. Non-partitioned hard disks or RAID arrays are not assigned drive letters, and cannot be accessed or used by the operating system.
If you are using running a Win 9x system (95, 98 or ME), you can partition the drive or array using the FDISK utility.
If you are running NT, Win2k or XP, you can partition the drive or array using the Disk Management utility.
