Hi -

I'm trying to get a new W2K system to recognize a pair of
drives I had installed as a RAID-0 array in a previous
system.

The system drive is separate from these two drives.
They're connected to a Maxtor PCI ATA card. All the Maxtor
diagnosis utilities recognize the drives and say they're
in good shape.

I can boot into W2K, but the drives - either on their own,
or as a single (striped) drive - are not displayed in
Windows Explorer.

When I go into the Computer Management console and double-
click Disk Management, the program tries to connect to the
logical disk manager... and then restarts before any drive
information displays. This is consistent behavior, it
happens every time I try to use Disk Management when these
drives are connected.

Anyone have any clues? More information needed?

I'm trying desperately to avoid reformatting these drives,
as there is a ton of data on them that I would not want to
lose.

Thanks in advance -
