RAID5 Virtual Disk Not Showing

[JonElf]

My raid controller is a LLSI MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP with 4x7200.11 750GB Seagate harddrives. I have the drivers installed and the storage manager software. I can see that it is Array 0 on Virtual Disk 0, all the drives are visible in the storage manager software but nothing in Windows, not even under Disk Management. Looking at the manuals too I can't find anything so far :/ Hopefully someone knows what's going on.

Level 1 LSI support is useless

OK LSI is no help at all... anyone else? Please?

IIRC, Windows XP cannot see more than 2TB of storage. Your RAID5 setup is about 2.2TB of storage. Something relating to GPT partitions.

Yes, that's it, thank you I wasn't aware XP had that limit.
