Originally, had 4 9GB hard drives. Added 2 identical 9 GB hard drives. Ran ACU and the array created a 2nd logical drive but seemed to expand correctly. When I saved the configuration, the system appeared to begin a process of some sort. About 1 - 2 minutes into the process, the computer restarted. The LCD had an "Event" stating "Abnormal Program Termination". The system came to a crash_dump screen and stopped. I upgraded the firmware for my SmartArray to Ver. 4.50. Still nothing. I attempted an NT repair using my ERD. The system would get to the point of running winlogon.exe and reboot. I began a new install of NT on a different partition and noted that the 2 hard drives I added to the array were still showing as a 2nd logical hard drive and were not partitioned. Where do I go from here?

What you "expanded" and such.
