RAID 5

[scroto]

Is it required to format a RAID 5 volume with NTFSin Server 2003.
I've had confilicting informatin regarding this. The MCSE Server 2003
MS Press books say you can only format with NTFS but info on
support.microsoft.com says in can be FAT32.

This is the Active Directory forum. Perhaps the Windows General or file
systems groups would have been better choices??

Anyway, as far as I'm aware (based on what I know of 2000) you can format in
either; you simply have to have dynamic disks to setup RAID from scratch.

You are correct about installing on a fat32 volume see:

As far as doing it on Raid5 is it hardware RAID? is so then windows
install should just treat it as a volume.
