    From the look of that screenshot, it seems it's got set up right. I don't know...it's probably because you still haven't partitioned and formated your drive yet? BTW, why are you trying to use these drive as raid0? It's not your system drive right? Or are you planning to install another OS?

    I see. Ok I tell you what, just disconnect your current system drive for the time being and try installing another copy of windows on your raid0 array and see if you can see the drive as one big drive when windows asks you to select which partition you want to install it to(blue screen one). Make sure you use nvraid driver floppy and install necessary 2 drivers by F6 option prior to that. If you see the drives as one big drive then I can say your raid0 array is configured properly. If you still see them as 2 seperate drives then it's either raid configuration problem or some setting inside bios need changing or maybe bios itself needs update. BTW, you can cancel whole setup process by pressing F3 I think.

    Ok, try "re"updating your nforce4 chipset driver, that might fix your problem.

    the nvraid manual off the webby says a none bootable raid array will appear in windows as the original unformated drives. u need to create a software array, have a read of the pdf i linked to and u will soon be up to speed.
