Dimension E310 raid 1 setup help.

I ran into a serious problem that forced me into a complete system install from scratch. I used the F6 install method to pass the serial ata raid drivers to windows. Now, the system is running 2 hard drives as ultra ata & doesn't allow me to install the matrix storage manager to build the array.

Hardware: 82915G/GV/910GL Express chipset family

               82801FB/FBM ultra ata storage controller (ICH6M)... used to be recognized as (ICH6R)

My thought was to use the ICH6R drivers, but it doesn't give me the choice to sellect the correct chipset.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Raid 1 was setup originally at the factory.

    First manually update your storage driver from here: Intel storage driver and then install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

    Well after 3 days of working on it, Raid auto detect was on in the bios instead of Raid on. Once I figured that out, I got to the option rom & was able to sign the hdd's and create a volume. I am a noob to Raid & the system is now up and running just fine.
