Re: RAID 5

Hi,

Thank you for posting. Also thanks for Chris' kind inputs, and he has
provided useful information for us.

You may first refer to the KB article 225551 which Chris has mentioned to
see whether the issue can be resolved.

For more information about creating RAID 5 on Windows 2000 Server, please
refer to the following links:

e/11w2kada.mspx

If the issue persists, please help me to capture a screen shot of the error
message, so that I can perform further research on this issue. To capture
a screen shot, you can:

1. When the screen appears, press the Print Screen key several times, which
is to the right of the F12 key on the keyboard.
2. Open Paint or Microsoft Word or WordPad.
3. Click Edit (menu) -> Paste or press Ctrl + V.
4. Click File (menu) -> Save. Save it to a file and attach it in email to
send it to me at v-stwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If anything is unclear or you have any concerns, please feel free to post
back. I am glad to be of assistance.

Have a nice day!
