Leopard not recognizing RAID card

[Steven2k7]

I bought this RAID card a week ago; the highpoint rocketRAID 1720. I didnt want to spend too much on it, hence why I got one of the cheaper ones. The problem is Leopard isnt recognizing it. I installed it and plugged in my two seagate 500gb 7200.11 drives in, and set up a RAID0. I booted into windows first (since I had to destory my previous leopard install because it was on one of the 500gb drives), and windows saw it right away and I had no problems. I installed Kallyway Leopard 10.5.1 and it has yet to show up. I downloaded the mac drivers directly from the highpoint mac website and it didnt do anything as far as i can tell.

 

When I go to about this mac, and click on PCI cards, it says there are no PCI cards detected. newegg, highpoints website, and the box it came in all say its comptable with mac OSX, so I thought I wouldnt have any major problems getting it to be seen in Leopard.

 

Right now I have a basic leopard 10.5.1 install on a spare drive, I havnt even installed any drivers yet, just to see if I can get the RAID card and the two hard drives to show up. I tried taking them out of the RAID so it would show up as two single drives, but for some reason that just caused them to not even show up in windows.

 

I'm using the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 motherboard, two Seagate 7200.11 500gb drives for the RAID, an 8800GS video card, 4gb of DDR2 ram, and a Q6600.

 

 

Any idea why it wont show up or what I need to do? I'm about ready to just send the card back and just do with out a RAID.

I'm trying out a Leo4All install now, but it didnt show up on the disk utility on the DVD, so I'll see what it does once its installed in a few minutes. Earlier today I put a PCI Lan card in to see if it would show up, and Leopard saw it and connected to the internet through it, but it still didnt show anything under 'PCI Cards' when I went to about this mac.

 

Does anyone have any ideas at all on what the problem could be?
