7.1 RAID driver installation

After creating the RAID sets for your server system, you are now ready to

install an operating system to the independent hard disk drive or bootable

array. This part provides instructions on how to install the RAID controller

drivers during OS installation.

Creating a RAID driver disk

You may have to use another system to create the RAID driver disk from

the system/motherboard support CD or from the Internet.

The Makedisk menu appears.

A floppy disk with the RAID driver is required when installing Windows

2000/XP operating system on a hard disk drive that is included in a

RAID set. You can create a RAID driver disk in DOS (using the Makedisk

application in the support CD) or in Windows

environment.

To create a RAID driver disk in DOS:

1. Place the motherboard support CD in the optical drive.

2. Restart the computer, then enter the BIOS Setup.

3. Select the optical drive as the first boot priority to boot from the

support CD. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

4. When prompted, press any key to boot from the support CD.

5. Place a blank, high-density oppy disk to the oppy disk drive.
