Need help with RAID

[Shadowmage]

I need help with setting up my RAID on this mobo: GA-K8NSC-939. Gigabyte provides like 10 different RAID drivers, and doesn't tell me which one is the correct one!

I loaded up the nVidia XP one, as well as some random Promise one, but after I load them up at Windows XP install, it still detects as 2 seperate drives.

HELP!

I already configured the array in the NVIDIA RAID BIOS

I'm trying to install Windows onto the array

If it's showing as two drives during the XP install, then you likely haven't created the array properly in the BIOS. Have a check on that.

Wait wait, hold on there.

You said you Enabled RAID in the BIOS, but theres also a seperate RAID controller config you must enter after the first status screen.

Simply enabling RAID, and setting the two proper drives to "Enable" doesn't create the array. You need to enter the config... it will be like Ctrl + M, or Ctrl + A or something, you should see a message like "Press Ctrl + M to enter BLAH BLAH RAID Configuration" and it will show your two drives.

Did you do that too?

Yeah, I enabled RAID in the real BIOS, and set up the RAID config in the NVIDIA RAID BIOS.


I need to know what driver files to feed Windows XP during install.
