| | | Posted by Factor VIII Thanks for the replies. I'm going to start reinstalling it on saturday. I have one question. How would I go about partitioning a RAID drive? Would it be recommended? The reason I need to do this is because I need a separate drive, yet all my HDD connector slots on the motherboard are full. My only other option would be to buy a pci express controller card and connect the HDD to that. I'll look into it this weekend.
| Get the HD's zero out utility from whoever the manufacturer is: Western Digital, Seagate, etc. Free up one of your IDE ports and make a bootable floppy with the zero out utility on it. Boot to it; you use the utility in a DOS enviroment. Zero-out all HD's that will be raided. It's important to do this, not doing so can crash the load! After the HD's are zeroed, connect them into the raid card, or mobo if the controller is on it. Start loading XP, punch the F-6 options when it asks for it. You must do this! Have the raid drivers, and on a floppy, load all that are needed, there should be two, load the first, and then repeat with the second. Windows will load normally from there, use Windows to partition the raided drives. Windows will see the array as one logic drive.
