Hi all, rookie question here. i got my hands on an oldish second hand server and set out to format the HDD then reinstall Win Server 2003 on it.
Problem is, I have absolutely no idea what I've done but the Non-System Disk message now appears everytime I boot and it looks like the Adaptec RAID isn't kicking in as there are no lights above the 5 disks.
I am completely new to RAID here and have no idea how to get it back up and working. Can someone point me in the right direction? Of course let me know if you need more info (and how I can find it!)
When you installing Windows there is a notation in the status bar:
"Press F6 if you need to install third party SCSI or RAID driver". You
must prepare a floppy disk with drivers for this RAID (serach for them
at the menufacturer site) and then press F6, when this notation appears.
