Author Raid-0 problem

I have a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, running XP Pro, 1Ghz Ram, an ASUS P4C800-E deluxe motherboard, two WD Raptor 36GB drives setup in Raid-0. Everything worked fine. I have since added two WD 180GB IDE drives setup in Raid-0. Upon booting my system the second Raid array is recognized by the Promise controller.
Unfortunately Windows is not detecting this array (I assume it's a Windows problem). The only drives that appear upon clicking My Computer are the Raptor drives. I have followed these instructions to edit the registry.

1. Use the Registry Editor to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Curr
entControlSet\Services\Atapi\P
arameters.
2. Add Value Name EnableBigLba, a REG_DWORD data type, and set the data value to 1.

Still no recognition of the second raid array.
This is my first system build and this is the only problem I have had.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you installed the driver for the Promise RAID controller in Windows?

Also I have seen drivers from manufacturers that only work in XP Service Pack 1, even though the instructions don't specifically state that.

You need to mount this drive to the file system, this you can do with diskpart program at the command prompt.
