(6) Configuring a bootable RAID array with Microsoft Windows 2000
Problem:
Users cannot install Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 (or previous versions) to a bootable
RAID volume.
There are two solutions to resolve this issue.
Solutions 1:
Use the NVRAID tool (nForce Driver Version 5.xx) to convert the boot volume to a RAID array. Here
are the detailed step-by-step instructions:
Step 1:
Install Windows 2000 onto a selected hard drive. Download and install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
from Microsoft's website.
Step 2:
After system restarts, press Del to enter system BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). Under
the
Integrated Peripherals
menu (Figure 21) assure the SATA port connecting the SATA hard disk (the
one containing the Windows 2000) is
Enabled
(Figure 21/22). Save settings and exit the BIOS setup.
