(6) Configuring a bootable RAID array with Microsoft Windows 2000
Problem: Users cannot install Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 (or previous versions) to a bootable
RAID volume.
There are two solutions to resolve this issue.
Solutions 1:
Use the NVRAID tool (nForce Driver Version 5.xx) to convert the boot volume to a RAID array. Here
are the detailed step-by-step instructions:
Step 1:
Install Windows 2000 onto a selected hard drive. Download and install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
from Microsoft's website.
Step 2:
After system restarts, press Del to enter system BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). Under
the Integrated Peripherals menu assure the SATA port connecting the SATA hard disk (the one
containing the Windows 2000) is Enabled (Figure 20). Save settings and exit the BIOS setup.
