Hello all,

My setup: ASUS P4S800D-X mobo, P4(3.0 GHz), 2 Western Digital 250 GB SATA drives, built in SIS 180 Raid controller, current BIOS from ASUS, updates, etc.

My problem: I'm attempting to RAID 1 my 2 drives that are connected to the SATA controllers. The primary master drive has WinXP already loaded and working, the secondary master is blank and is recognized by both the BIOS and Windows. However, when I try to create the RAID array by pressing ctrl-s and entering the setup utility, the creation of the raid halts at about 20% completion. Then I have to reboot, and start again. But it always halts before completing.
I've tried using the ASUS RAID utility within Windows, but it also halts and I have to reboot. Very weird.
Has anyone had this problem, and what was your solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
