Chapter 5 NVIDIA RAID Introduction
Win2K Limitation with Bootable RAID
In Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or previous versions), the end user cannot
install this operating system to a bootable RAID volume.
Solution
There are two solutions to resolve this issue.
I) 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:
1. Install Windows 2000 on a selected hard drive.
2. Download and install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 from Microsoft’s
website.
3. Reboot the system. Press the <DEL> key as the system is rebooting to
enter into the system BIOS.
4. Select Integrated Peripherals
RAID Config.
5. Enable RAID for the selected drive (the one containing the Windows 2000
operating system). Then press <F10> to exit and save settings in the system
BIOS. This action reboots the system.
6. Press <F10> as the system is rebooting to go into the RAID ROM. The
system directs you into the NVIDIA RAID Utility.
7. Select Striping under RAID Mode. Press <Tab> to go into the Free Disk
menu, then use the Right Arrow key to add the desired disk.
8. Press <F7> to finish. Select <N> (NO) when asked to Clear Disk Data.
9. Press Ctrl-X to exit. The system reboots into Windows 2000.
10. Install the NVIDIA nForce Driver Package while in Windows 2000. Then
reboot the system.
11. Go to START>Programs>Nvidia Corporation and select NVRAID Manager.
You should see the single disk RAID array (in striping mode) that was created
from the boot disk.
12. Select the single boot disk RAID Array by clicking on it.
