Mac Pro RAID problem

I have a newer (last winter) Mac Pro with the Apple RAID card. I am using four SATA drives in a 0+1 array.


I have just been stuck in a reboot loop and had to disassemble my CD bay to get the drive open so I could insert my OS X install disc and try to recover.


During this reboot loop one of the keyboard options I tried was CMD-OPT-P-R. Now that I have booted to the OS X install disc, OS X and the Disk Utility cannot see my hard disk or partition. I am guessing this is due to the reset NVRAM.


Problem is, the RAID utility says I have no RAID card. How do I proceed and avoid re-building the array from scratch?


Thanks,


J.

I am not sure what you mean - I have been using 0+1 on my Mac RAID card for months without an issue. I'm totally shocked that I can't install Windows on this drive set.


The problem I was having that caused me to start this thread is the RAID utility didn't see the card any more when I booted to the system DVD.
