Help on enabling RAID on E521

Question

Hi, I have purchase a 160GB harddisk for my 1 month old E521, trying to enable RAID on it. Drive was installed and after hitting Ctrl-N during boot screen, I can only see my original dell-installed disk on SATA0. The new disk (on SATA3) was not shown on the screen. If I disabled RAID, I am able to see the new disk in XP Pro. Any ideas why the new disk does not show up on the RAID BIOS screen? And what should I do next in order to enable RAID on my E521? Thanks for help. -K

The harddrives must be connected in sequential raid slots on the motherboard. 0 and 1 or 2 and 3. Then try ctrl-n and they should both pop up.   Suerte
