I want to set up Raid but have no Floppy !

is there a work around ?

It's for a Asrock Dual-VSTA

the other thing the Sata only goes up to 150 mbs so is it worth getting two F3 Sata disks :confused:

I'm not

MrBlobby · 26 Sep 2010 at 21:58

Hmm parents have one is it worth doing when the mobo only has SATA 1?

nlite sounds like the best option. I`ll have a go at that

Ok I've tried to slipstream the drivers into windows nlite, but it doesn't seem to have worked. When I boot windows from the Windows disk it, I press f6 to search for the drivers, however, it just says can't find floppy disk. If I do nothing. I get disk 0 on bus 0 on viamraid (MBR) or disk 0 on id 2 on viamraid (MBR). HELP !

I've a 775dual-vsta motherboard. http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=775Dual-VSTA&o=XP

I don't want to change from Xp as my tv card won't work etc.

Anyway any help advice would be much appreciated.

Perhaps you someone could burn the streamline the drivers for me if I've done it wrong. (I did try to put everything on the disk sound card drivers etc. but it's not got that far)

Thanks anyway

What should happen ? I've never installed a RAID array before

MrBlobby · 8 Oct 2010 at 19:01

Ive XP

Thanks I decided to go for the floppy disk option. It took ages to build the XP cd last time so I'm going for this opition. Just have to wait for ebay peopel to deliver

so here goes turns out the drivers where install ok. BUt I didn't konw how to set up the raid array. Anyway now I've installed windows for the nth time it just goes to a blank screen.

Help.

I tried to upgrade the graphics card which led to artefacts etc. so I reinstalled the old graphics card and an image of the hard disk and I had this blank screen problem. I'm not sure it's a problem with the graphics card as windows loads ok and the screen seems fine tricky one hey??
