I'm failing with RAID...

Arbiter Odie · 09-27-11, 05:05 PM

Help. I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a RAID 0 array I've made with two 60 gigabyte solid state drives. When I select the primary partition while installing windows, I get this: Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001.

What should I do? What did I mess up?

Did you secure erase both drives before putting them into raid array?

Arbiter Odie · 09-27-11, 06:01 PM

Nope. Funny thing is, I just did that while waiting for a response. I'll let you know how it works in a minute.

Did things in the wrong order, with the wrong RAID settings (what the heck IS JBOD??). Small setback. I'm trying again.

Erase raid. Secure erase both drives. Setup new raid 0 with 64 KB size. Load windows 7, and hope the raid driver works *fingers crossed*.

I'll post back when it doesn't work again

You can get this Error: 0x80300001 if you have any bootable drive on the controller ahead of the drive/partition you are installing windows onto.

I guessed that, and checked the boot order. It was wrong, but fixing it didn't make a difference.

However... I did figure out the problem.
I don't want to admit what I did.
It's embarassing.
Even more than normal. But... I guess I have to admit it. Here goes.

I learned something important today! To install windows 7 you need to: have the windows 7 install disk in the drive

. If there was a facepalm smiley face, I'd use it. I can't believe I messed that up so badly, but that was the only problem. Once I put the disk back in the drive, it let me install. Boy, I'm stupid.

Sorry to bother you with my non-thinking. Thank you for trying to help me

I have the speed results from As-ssd. I'll post them in a seperate thread later, once I've got everything installed.

Man we have all pulled that major bassackwards stunt of one type or the other before. What shows the stuff we are made of...is being able to admit a booboo. So glad you got the beeatch sorted and happy putering man. RGone...ster.

Thank you for you kindness in the face of my, uh, learning experiences

. I'll try to keep 'em to a minimum.

Also, the stuff I'm made of... this seems to do it justice:

.

That smiley is awesome.

Also, just to let you know:

Edit: Might be more helpful if I mention the code for it too.
