getting vista to recognize HD size

11-29-2007

Hello,
If I'm sending this question to the wrong NG, please just let me know where
I should go and I will. Thanks.
I've recently installed Vista Home Basic 64. My BIOS recognizes both 250 G
hard drives that are installed as a RAID stripe. Device Manager recognizes
my disk drives as an NVIDIA Stripe 465.76G. Windows Explorer only
recognizes my drive as a 24.4GB hard drive.
How can I change this? I didn't get the raid setup exactly the way I wanted
it, so I don't mind changing that. I do want to have the disk(s)
partitioned.
Thank you for any help. It is very frustrating not being able to load more
software until this is done.
Thanks,
Richard

Sorry, I meant to say if replying directly, you need to remove dashes from
e-mail address, but replying to NG is good. Thanks.
