Qosmio Laptops

I finally have the correct hard drive capacity recognized in BIOS, but both hard drives are now JBOD -- I'm unable to recreate RAID1. Also, the laptop will only boot from HDD2, no matter which hard drive is in that position. BIOS, Toshiba RAID Console utility, and Acronis True Image see 2 separate hard drives, but Windows XP only sees a single (Healthy, System) hard drive. How can I recreate RAID1 and bootability from the HDD1 position?

FYI, the laptop gets a BSOD when trying to boot into Windows XP from HDD1, but will successfully boot from HDD2. I even tried swapping the position of the hard drives; each hard drive will ONLY boot into WinXP when installed as HDD2. I think because HDD2 (rather than HDD1) is the active hard drive, Toshiba RAID Console utility (in Windows) won't let me create a RAID1 array.

In BIOS, both hard drives are designated as [Optimal condition] JBOD. Currently the only other BIOS options are 1RAID-0 and 2RAID-0, whereas RAID1 is supposed to be the factory default. I must have broken RAID1 while trying to get the BIOS to recognize the correct capacity of the installed hard drives (previously it kept giving the CAPACITY of the original, smaller, hard drives even though it read the current hard drives' actual size); now I'm unable to recreate it.
