SIREX Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 I have read other posts but still do not understand this raid stuff. I have an option for the raid on my board. Chaintech 7NJS Zenith Ultra. I have not bought the Hardrives yet. So I would appreciate some suggestions. And in PLAIN terms how to get them to work. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 1 - Connect Hard Drives to MOBO RAID Controller 2 - Boot system 3 - During boot, press the key it tells you to press (on screen) to enter the RAID BIOS 4 - Create a drive array (it should tell you what to do on screen) 5 - Once arrays are created, boot to windows and install the RAID driver 5a - If installing windows on the RAID drive press F6 as soon as setup starts (you'll see a message that tells you to press F^ to install RAID drivers) and if all else fails, read the manual.

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Basically RAID is used for mirroring or constant backups if you will Its best to use 2 HDs that are the same size Its very useful...I need to purchase another HD in order to use RAID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
