Joined Jul 14, Messages 3, First link dosn't really apply due to the fact I do not have a operating system installed yet and I want the OS on the Raid Array. Indirect sights refer broken links back to HP to a driver that either was never there or dosnt exist any longer. So at this point Im frustrated and have spent over 30 hours trying to figure this out.
Let me go from scratch on what I did. Downloaded the windows server drivers from Hp hoping they would work because there the newest I could find.
Opened Hardware. Pressed f6 to load raid drivers from floppy when asked, selected the NetRaid 4m controller drivers from A: Windows registers one gb roughtly drive.
Formatted using NTFS not quick Installed windows When windows gets to the end of installing files not yet in the gui, just the text it warns remove floppy disk, will restart in 15 seconds Restarts Loads windows Gives me the option to Install, Repair, Exit If I Install: Warns there already is a os installed and installing another one can damage the first Repair: Gives dos prompt, per tec friend, tried fixmbr, no apparant effect.
Exit: Warns there is no OS Installed. If I continue, it reboots Ok. Tried With the Drivers from Hp for hp , tried with windows default. No matter what I do, this is what I get.

Sorry, the information I was given by friends and from what I thought I was reading in setting up Raid 0 was that it could be done as a fresh install onto the array due to the fact I due have a floppy drive to install the raid drivers.
Joined May 15, Messages 2, Ok, SO I followed the article in the hardware section. I cloned my HD onto the new partition. If I keep the ata drive connected windows will load. I tried using the xp cd, going into repair and fixmrb then I tried to scan It shows the C drive is there now the scsi however I cant figure out how to get the computer to boot off it.
When I go into the boot screen at startup, it shows the raid array. Any sudgestions from here?
