Default Software RAID 5??


Can I set up a BOOTABLE software RAID 5 array which spans
all of 3 hard drives on a Win 2K server? This includes
the system drive as well.

How can I do it -if it can be done?

Thanks very much.

Jeff

To build a RAID, you must have unpartitionned space on you
drive(s). By selecting free spaces on each disk, you can
choose to buile a RAID, so because of this, i don't think
it's possible. The only way to have a bootable RAID 5 is
to have a RAID card like Adaptec 2100s.
