Everything SHOULD be right but I must be missing something.
What I have at last boot up (I'll have a picture tomorrow when I can take one):
1. Recognized physical disks: 3 (according to the menu previous to VD setup menu) but only one is contributing to the total available capacity (3 160GB drives, ~150000MB available to use in the VD I'm creating)
2. Enter virtual disk creation menu: RAID-0 (greyed out likely because only one of the drives actually being seen), ~150000MB available to allocate (I allocate exactly 150000MB), I name the virtual disk
2a. Advanced Menu: 64KB element size, default for the other two (I can't remember right now), Initialize [X]
Nothing I've changed has made a difference. When I attempt to Tab over to the OK button, nothing happens. It has always been greyed out.
I solved the issue by selecting the drives visible. I never had them X'ed to select them. Silly mistake but everything's fine now. Thanks for your help and attention

That's strange, we are missing something. Maybe you missed the name of the VD? What happened if you move with Tab?

Hello,
you have to enter in the Physical Disk cell and select the physical disk with space key.
Can you try?
Thanks
Marco
