Cannot see all of 4 tera bytes of raid array when installing windows vista x64
I have a BFG 680i motherboard with 4 1tb samsung hdd's. I am attempting to install Winsows Vista 64-bit on the raid (Raid 0) I have tried the drivers from nVidia (BFG's website sends you there directly), and some third party drivers as well. They either show me a drive that is 1678.1 gb (1.63 tb) or nothing at all (cannot find any drives). Could someone please help me figure out how to get all 3.6tb of hdd space recognized by windows (I would not complain if you could do it with 32-bit XP)

While I didn't address it in my first response, I have to agree with connollyg... I would never personally risk 4TB in a RAID 0 unless it was a scratch disk for something that actually needed that much space.
I don't know how you intend to use this system, but remember SATA drives are normally only rated at around 40% duty-cycles, if you intend to run this 24 hours a day the reliability figures of the individual disks go out the window and then the use of RAID-0 is doubly perilous!
