Title: EP45-UD3LR with Raid, wont see third drive??
Post by: stimps on March 27, 2012, 07:22:51 am

Got above board with two 500gig drives connected to port 1 and 2 in raid mode, and all I need is to connect an extra drive,
A 1 TB baracuda seagate SATA3 .
In the SATA BIOS it shows up, and its non Raid, just like I want, yet when I boot into windows7, (installed on the two 500gig drives, Raid) it does not show up. Instruction manual with this board doesnt seem to help in this situation.

Does anyone know what I need to do??

You probably need to go into disk management, and initialize the drive, and or assign it a drive letter before it will show up in your "My Computer", both will have to be done (Say MBR when asked :))
