RAID 0 Array and Windows Setup


I just built a new computer, and Im trying to set up Windows 2000 on a RAID0 array.

I have a Highpoint RockeRAID 100 card, w/ HPT370A chipset.
I am also uing 2 60GB Maxtors.

I set up the array with the BIOS on the card, and start Windows 2000 setup using the bootable CD. Setup starts, and asks me if I want to install any disk drivers. I hit F6, and it tells me to put the disk i drive A. I do, and it reads it for a second, and then goes back and asks me again to insert the disk.

So, I allow setup to continue. Then, it tells me I have no hard disks in my system. Beautiful.

Any ideas?

Redownload and reextract the drivers, it's possible they've been corrupted. Use a different floppy as well, or scandisk the floppy, just in case.

I used the floppy that came with it. I don't think the drivers are in the right format to be used by Wn2k Setup. ideas?

Too many times, I've had bad floppies enclosed. Use this link and follow the device drivers link to get the drivers, BIOS updates, etc.

Make sure that you update the card's BIOS to the same version of the driver that you are using.
