Re: raid setup

You need a floppy drive, or you can create a slipstreamed win2k installation
containing the raid drivers.

Raid controller may be embedded in the mobo but the driver isnt, and the o/s
does not have a built in driver, therefore if you attempt to install,
without using F6, the installation will not see the controler/hd's, and will
abort.

moving old win2k install to new hw. sata raid embedded on mb
install needs "f6" to supply raid inf on floppy.

is there any way to avoid a: drive? is floppy still unevitable part of hw
inventory?

by the way, what is the real nature of raid "f6" setup, assumnig that raid
is embedded into mb, and should be totaly transparent to os [raid is
raid_1
and is just mirrored disks]

any comment? thnx
