Hello to all at MTH:

Just a quick question about the differences between Win Vista 64 and Win 7 64.
I set up a RAID 10 system using an Intel DX58SO MB and Intel i7965uP with (4ea 1TB HDs) for a customer and noticed that in Win Vista 64, when viewing the C: drive, it will show a single drive at approximately 1.8 TB. However, in Win 7 64, it shows local disk (C:) (842GB) and New Volume (D:) 931GB.
When looking at the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, it shows what appears to be a single volume at 1.863TB.

My question is: Is Win 7 64 seeing the RAID system as one Hard Drive i.e., local disk (C:) and New Volume (D:) ???? And is writing to both drives ??

Thanks,
ThomasBrougher
