I'm just setting up a new RAID 5 media server with a 3ware 7506-8 card and five 250gb drives.
I formatted each of the drives in Win Serv 2003.
Rebooted.
I set up the array in the BIOS.
It successfully initialized the array (100%).
Booted to Windows.
Now it recognizes one 933gb drive.
But it is not formatted.
Do I need to format again? (It will take forever for 933mb!)
Also, how come I lost 67gb of drive space?
