Re: Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G, RAID and SBS2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Your best bet would be a RAID controller that is not built into the
motherboard. Since you are doing SATA RAID, you can get an Adaptec 1420SA
SATA II 3Gb/s controller for about $100. It has drivers specifically for
2003, and recovery should it ever fail most likely will be easier.

Hi,

I've just bought the above motherboard, configured RAID and it says its

healthy. The only issue I have is that I'm not sure which drivers to
copy to a floppy, so Windows Small Business Server 2003 can see the
drives as it says it can't at the minute.


This for a home machine, but really need it to work.


Nick


The manual says I need the C51 driver, but when I make the floppy I
have three options-Win2K, XP, and XPx64.
