[PusherRobot]

Ok I got my RAID 0 setup..and as far as i can tell its done correct...for one the drive is showing as E: is there a way to get it to show as c: if i reinstall everything..also the main probably i'm having is it locks up, or lags really bad...so i'm not sure if its one of the drives or just the way its setup so i tryed to defrag hits 3% and locks..can't do anything not even ctrl alt del...any suggestions ?

What is your hardware configuration?

What is the OS?

How are the drives positioned on the Cables?

Are you using cable select or both set as master?

for one the drive is showing as E: is there a way to get it to show as c:

the C:/ drive will be the system partition containing the bootsector and ntldr, boot.ini ect.

these are SATA drives on the RAID ports?

that board has a really weird RAID setup

On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP-T chipset provides IDE HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66 operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
RAID O or 1 is supported
RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D

from that and your answer (0 & 2)
Id say your configuration is invalid

they are IDE drives on a 133 RAID card not using the onboard SATA its disabled
