Re: Load driver for RAID controller

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Maybe I didn't explain well what is my problem.
I have a pc that works fine with windows xp and yhe installation is on hard
disk that is attached on standard ide controller (ICH7R) but now I want to
use a RAID capability of my chipset so I bought two new hard disk and I
created a RADI 1 and clone old installation on RAID disk but when I boot
with RAID disk Windows XP fails to start and reboot automatically.
I think the problem is hard disk controller driver that is not valid now and
I want to setup new driver without fresh installation.
Thanks

Youre missing a few major areas...Just setting the BIOS for RAID
controller
use
will get you nowhere,specially with an IDE hd.For RAID & RAID
controller,you
need two SATA hds,once the same two are plugged into the controller,set
BIOS
for RAID (usually advanced chipset),then set to boot to RAID (2nd
priority,cdrom
1st),once you exit BIOS,a post BIOS utility appears to set up a RAID
set,once
thru,boot to xp cd,press F6,install RAID controller drivers,after,return
to
xp cd
set up page....
