Dell Poweredge. Unable to boot from Raid controller.
I've just purchased a highpoint RocketRaid 1640 card for our Dell Poweredge 400SC server.
I am installing a fresh copy of windows XP pro onto 2 new seagate SATA150 harddisks connected in Raid (mirror) configuration.
When XP is installing via CD , i load in the relevant raid drivers via a floppy. XP continues install. When installation is complete, the computer restarts but XP won;t load it gives a blue screen stating a hard-disk error. It's as if it can't boot from the RAID card.
I haven't been able to get the error message because it is on the screen so briefly. BSOD type thing.
The motherboard BIOS lists floppy, CD-ROM and Harddisk as valid boot devices. I
guess it would need "other" to boot from RAID card?
I also tried it, when installing to just one HD - same error.
Can you assist me?
