HELP. Trying to setup my RAID...

[Stormblade]

Hey all,

Well, the computer is up and running but I'm having some issues. I have created my SCSI RAID array and I've gone all the way through to installing Windows 2000. Everything goes well until it's time to boot up into Windows for the first time. When I try this I get a BSOD with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DISK error. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

I installed Windows onto the striped RAID array so the error is letting me know that windows 2000 can't access the array for some reason.

Did you install the driver for you raid controller During windows 2000 setup?

If not,when you boot from the win2000 cd,it says at the bottom of the screen "Press F6 to install third party raid or scsi devices".

Yeah I did that. If I don't do that it wouldn't let me install onto that drive at all. But I'm trying something else. I have two RAID controller's. One SCSI and one IDE. I thought I could just do the SCSI, install Windows 2000 and then later install the IDE one but the error I'm getting may be because of the other one. I'm re-installing now to see perhaps if that's it.

If that's not it I really don't know what's going on. It shouldn't be trying to boot from the IDE in any case.

Nope that didn't work. *sigh* It's always an upward battle.
