Maxtor, Raid and lots of trouble

Hi guys - havent been here in a looong time ;)

I have a KT7A Raid board. For some reason I have trouble with hard disks and clicking when letting them run in raid for a while. I don't know what shit Maxtor sells these days, but I also realized that the replacements they gave me, had been in use once. The stickers were only overglued with new ones.
Since I noticed that, I told them to immediately send me new ones. Now they sent me 200GB 133 ATA hard disks.
Some of you may now guess what my problem is:
The hard disks are only recognized up to about 134GB each by the high point controller - and the controller doesn't allow me to create an array because there is no second disk (which is not true, it EVEN displays me the second disk, I just cant create an array with both).

Now ... how do I get the Raid Bios to support disks up to 200GB? Is this the end of the Raid dream?
The last bios update of abit was in 2002 - there is no new update on their page available.

Is there anyone that could help me?

Thanx in advance!

    You can try update the hpt bios embedded in the abit bios yourself. You don't need abit to do it. But best decision would be a newer MB in general.
