Problems Adding HD to RAID in w/ NV Raid manager


Recommended Posts

I know the issue with win 2k limitation about not supporting bootable raid arrays so I went and followed the instructions to get win2k installed. Got it all up to the part where I convert and add the new HD in Nvidia Raid Manager... but during all 3X doing the setup process from scratch, it stops converting at 84%... just hung there for hours. They say it only take maybe 2-3 for the conversion process. Could the one of the drive have a bad sector? I installed them before in RAID 0 in Windows XP ... no probs. Help please...

I'm not mixing it up... 1st array is for win xp pro 32-bit, 2nd array is for win xp pro 64-bit, 3rd array is for win 2k. All works fine, I am implementing multi boot in a different way by doing F10 at bootup and just choosing which array I boot up with. And as it stands right now, in win2k- and focus is just in win2k- I just have 1 HD in RAID0 and from the manual, I can use Nvraid manager to add the 2nd HD to that array. I go thru the process, manager sees the 2nd HD and I add it and start the conversion process... but hangs at 84%...computer is still useable just the conversion hangs. I quit the nvaid manager, quit windows and try to reboot but no go, that win2k raid array is *(&%^&$%.

 

Manual I'm following is here:

It's for all Nvidia raid version.
