I've got the newest RAID driver installed and after pressing Control I, and then try to create a RAID volume, I get an error that states "Not enough available space to create a volume".</P><P>Here's the readout on the configuration panel:</P><P>RAID volumes, ID, 0 RAID hard drives Level: RAID O stripe Strip: 128K Size: 1863 GB (Two identical 1T hard drives) Status: Normal Bootable: Yes. Physical Discs: Port 0 and port 3 </P><P> </P><P>When I boot into Windows, no hard drives are listed in Device Manager but RAID controller is listed under Storage Controller.</P><P>Under Computer in Windows Explorer, only one hard drive is listed.</P><P>Under Computer Management, the second hard drive is listed as unallocated with the New Striped volume grayed out.</P><P>Ever since setting up this RAID configuration, I cannot switch from RAID to IDE in the BIOS and make it stick when I want to use the non-RAID drive (as separate hard disc). With every boot up, I have to go back into the bios and manually switch to the non-RAID drive.</P><P> </P> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:31:41 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-vPro-Platform/Having-trouble-with-RAID/m-p/224341#M798 idata 2010-04-29T13:31:41Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-vPro-Platform/Having-trouble-with-RAID/m-p/224342#M799 <P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>There are some limitations from Operating System point of view.</P><P></P><P>You cannot boot from a volume greater than 2TB.
