Setting Up Your RAID Configuration
Installing the RAID Drivers
Your system may come with a Windows install CD that already includes NVIDIA RAID
drivers. If so, then this section is not relevant.
If that is not the case (or you are trying to install a new version of Windows), then you
will need an NVIDIA RAID driver F6 install floppy. Check to see if one came with your
system. If not, you can create one by downloading the appropriate driver package and
following the steps in this section.
1 Create an F6 install floppy by using the ʺ-xʺ option, then copy all files in ʺ…\IDE\
