However, in windows, I do not see my newly created "raptorraid" volume.

When I use intel matrix storage console, the raptors show up as being in raid, the status is normal, system volume says "no"... and this is what i can't figure out. Shouldn't system volume say "yes"?

Well if you could help me find my missing raptor raid and possibly move my windows from my 250GB to my new raid array, that'd be great as well.

thanks!
System Volume: "No" is fine. Just means that Windows didn't boot from there. Use Windows Disk Management to see if the volume shows up. It probably will but you'll need to create a partion on it for the rest of Windows to see it.

I'm not sure if I can help with moving Windows XP (assuming that's what you're running). With Vista it's easier because you can boot from the CD to a command prompt and do a massive xcopy. Have you looked at tools like Ghost?
