  • Hmm The OP explicitly states "I'm thinking it's because I don't have the 3rd party drivers for the raid hardware anymore (it's onboard raid VIA on a MSI motherboard)"

  • It's been so long I assume I had the 3rd party floppy drives but I could be confusing it with an ancient system I had from 3ware that was a PCI card which enabled hardware raid. That for sure had the floppy drives... lol

  • @DavidPostill, yes.. I'm aware. The third party drivers are a Windows only thing. Linux sees it for what it is: perfectly normal AHIC hardware with software raid on it, and uses the dmraid tool to recognize and configure the linux software raid to access it.
