problem solved. i checked my win2k and xp cds and they saw both drives. even
though it's disabled raid has still taken up roughly about 25 gigs of space
on my secondary drive leaving me with roughly 33 to play with. i used the xp
disk manger to repartition and reformat the 33 gigs. now vista sees both
drives.
