Re: adaptec 19160/29160 RAID driver for windows 2000 server`

I just checked the server and I found out that it appears that the card is a
true adaptec 19160 card. I have the driver installed and two scsi hard
drives installed and I have it setup as a software raid (raid 1, mirrored).
I checked the controller card and the driver (adaptec 19160) is setup as scsi
id 7 with both hard drives sitting in id 0 and id 1. I finished the software
raid, but I could not get the SQL server 7 databases to restore as it says
that the databases where installed in a raid configuration and that you need
to use the with format option when you restore these databases. What is the
the with format option during a restore, or should I ask that question else
where. Also the bios of the scsi card is not loaded but on another server
that I am using at home, which has the same scsi card, the 19160 drivers were
installed during the windows 2000 install and the scsi bios (not sure of the
exact version as the server is dis-assembled at the moment) is loaded in id
7, opposite to what happened with the server I am trying to restore sql
server 7. What can I do to get the raid back, do I need to install the scsci
bios, and what else would I need to load and what other steps can I take to
get the database restored to what was there before, as some of the data files
(data and log files resided on both the c drive (non raid) and the d drive,
originally, which was a software raid but not is on drive e, with the new
software raid I configured last night).

I don't think the 29160 supports a raid configuration but controller bios
will confirm this one way or the other. Perhaps it was a software raid?
