Hi,
I am attemtping to set up a RAID 1 array using a Gigabyte GA7ZXR MB with an
onboard Promise 20265 Raid controller. I used to have a striped array
working fine with this machine but after I lost a disk about a year ago I
ditched it. I am now attemtping to use 2x160gb Maxtor drives ( Is their
size the issue ?) , but after using the F6 option of the XP pro ( Non
service pack ) install to 'load additional drivers', the XP Installation
routine reports no disks are present in my machine and the install fails. I
have deleted the old partitions from both drives ans set up the Mirror
apparently succesfully.
I have tried this several times, loading and not loading the additional
drivers but to no avail. Any ideas anyone ? I was wondering if it is the
large disk support missing from the XP CD ?
Thanks.
