2) Right-click on the
My Computer
icon on your desktop, and then select (left-click) the
Manage
item from the ensuing pop-up menu.
3) Click the ‘+’ symbol next to the
Storage
item (if this item is in its collapsed state) in the left-
hand navigation pane, and then select the
Disk Management
item. Observe that, in the case
of this particular configuration, the system currently only recognizes the main operating system
disk (the C: drive) and the CD-DVD (the D: drive) as shown in Figure 4-1.

4) Power-down the MaxPac and then start the power-up sequence again (be prepared to press
the
<Ctrl>M
keys – that is, press the <Ctrl> key and the ‘M’ key at the same time – as
discussed in the following notes.
5) Observe the BIOS reporting that it is spinning up the SCSI drives, followed by messages
reporting that the MegaRAID controller has detected only one logical drive (this is our system
disk) as shown in Figure 4-2.
Note:
The reason the MegaRAID card detects a logical drive at this stage is that we are assuming
that this card was already being used to control the system drive. If the MegaRAID card has just
been installed into a system with and ISA disk for a system drive (or with a SCSI disk being
controlled by its own dedicated SCSI card), then it won’t detect any logical drives at this stage.
