That is what I wanted; your posts are very hard to follow, BTW.
What would also be good is for you use the
official support thread as a basis for your actions. You should review the
release notes and follow the procedure outlined in the very last section if you are stuck at "welcome, powering up..."
Hopefully this will not continue to "drive you nuts" - you are using a DIY product, so its a given that when things don't work, you must continue to read, and search for answers. Providing clear information when posting your questions, will always help those responding to point you in the right direction.
Lastly, I've sent you a link to an updated 'test version' of the software that is intended to work on drives larger than 250GB; the released version is known to cause problems when using drives larger than 250GB; but ones different than what you described. From your description, I don't expect that using it without following the aforementioned procedure will work, but you might want to try it.
Also, it should go without saying that you should ensure the drives you are using are not defective (ie. run diagnostics on them if you haven't already); eliminating as many variables as possible will always help.
If you have success with the 2x300GB drive configuration with the new version, please let us know (and if you don't, please also respond with the details of your observations).
