Hey All,
I just started having a problem with my raid volume that's been working fine for several months.
I had a RAID5 volume (nonboot) on XP for several months working great. I installed Windows XP MCE 2005 on a second partition on the boot drive. After this, the RAID volume would not be recognized in either the original XP install or the MCE install. I keep getting "Cannot Install This Hardware" message on the raid volume under Disks in Device Manager.
The RAID card is recognized and I can manage it using the HTTP Admin tool. It also shows the RAID volume as normal and working.
I uninstalled the RAID disk and rebooted.. now it won't use the areca drivers and gives me the same message as above.
I also tried updating the firmware (1.41) on the raid card and tried the updated drivers (1.20) from Areca.
Here's my specs:
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Opteron 165
4GB RAM
40GB Boot HD
Areca 1210 Raid controller - with 4 Seagate 400GB HDs.
Any help is appreciated.
