Software Arrays + SP3

[Robert Angell]

Hey,
I'm looking at installing Win 2K SP3 on a clients machine that has
software RAID running. I'm am wondering if there are any known
problems or niggles that I may run into in doing this. Upon doing
this, I will be looking at installing Exchange 2K SP3. Are there any
problems with this? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Hope you don't hate me for this, but my advice - don't run a server with
software RAID - particularly Exchange.

hardware RAID controllers are much better !

The OS just sees one virtual hard disk.

Why SP3 ? Why not go directly to SP4 ?
