Adding ATA RAID 0 to a DP800 with SCSI Boot Drive
I have a DP800 Quicksilver with a 72G SCSI hard drive that serves as the boot drive. Due to space limitations, I have installed two ATA133 hard drives, each 120GB. I desire to intall them as a RAID 0 and use them for video projects.
I first set the jumper switches on the ATA's so that there was an ATA master and an ATA slave (as recommended by an Apple Tech). The computer just gave me a gray screen, apparently (?) unable to recoginze that the original SCSI as the boot drive.
I then set the jumper switches on the ATA's both to "slave." The system booted, and the system profiler recognizes an ATA device on the Bus now:
"ATADeviceNub
Unit Number 1
ATA Device Type ata"
but Disk Utility does not "see" anything.
How do I get the Disk Utility to see the two ATA's so that I can format them and set up a RAID 0? Further, are these two separate steps? Do I format and then set up the RAID 0, or does setting up the RAID 0 automatically go through a formatting process?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: BTW, nice setup!! I'm going to get a DP800 one of these days!
