RAID trouble part deux.......

I'm trying to install xp on my RAID, but when it comes to the screen to pick what drive to install on I see my IDE drive fine, but the RAID is not recognized. I booted from the CD and hit F6 to load the RAID drivers. Am I forgetting anything?
 
Moe is right... You must first set-up your RAID array in BIOS first. When you reboot, BIOS will then detect whether you have a "healthy" RAID array or not. When you load Windows, it will then prompt you to load your RAID drivers from your floppy. Once Windows is loaded, you can then go to system management/disc management and format the drives, assign drive letters and partition the drives if wanted.

Ah.....I forgot the system management part:banghead:

When asked for what type of file system on it which one should I choose, default or NTFS?
 
Thanks fellas:applause: Got it running, now to install tons of stuff from my old drive.
But first I gotta put FSX on so I can play a little:d

Ain't that a fact!

Just like you said Ted, everything is running so smooth on RAID I can hardly believe it. :ernae:
