How to get XP to recognise Raid drives

CrashEd · 30 Nov 2007 at 16:50

I've just installed Vista 64, but I want to install XP also. I've created a new NTFS partition, but XP wont recognise it during the setup. Is there something I need to do to get it to recognise a raid drive during setup?

You need raid drivers, at the start of setup it says press f6 to install 3rd party scsi or raid drivers.

I am not too sure if you already have the RAID array setup, but if you have, have a look Here

Thanks, I'll see if I can get hold of the XP SATA drivers. Only problem is I don't have a floppy drive. Is it possible to read them for the DVD drive during the XP setup?

I believe you can "slip stream" the drivers into an XP install, dont ask me how though, never done it.
