  • Problem installing 2K on raid

    Howdy all. Did a fresh install on my raid array, and now I can't get win2K installed for my life. It goes through the fily copy process and tells me to restart. It then says hit F6 if you need to install a raid driver, so I do. Here is where the problem may be, the disk that came with my mobo (it's on-board raid) became corrupted somewhere along the way. I dl'ed a newer version of the driver and that's what I have it install.

    It then says starting Win2k setup, the optics on my usb mouse light up, the keyboard lights flash, and the hhd working light goes on. That's as far as I get.

    I have tried 2 different copies of Win2k, upgrade (which I have been running for over a year) and a newer full install copy. Both do the same thing.

    As far as hardware, I have an Iwill KK266-R motherboard, and 2 40 gig IBM 60gxp's.

    Is there something obvious I am just missing? Me being a flake lately I wouldn't doubt it. For the record, it was really easy to get this exact hardware to run back when I put this machine together.

    Have you tried not installing the raid driver during installation? It should see the array as a regular drive through the bios and allow you to finish installing. You can install the 32 bit driver for the array later.

      Yeah I have. If I don't install any drivers I just get a bluescreen that says I have an inacsesable (sp?) boot device.

        Well, sucks to be you then...

        Unless you can find a copy of that original disk, you may be out of luck.

        Try looking on this site: http://www.x-faqtor.com/KK266.htm

        I haven't looked through it yet, but it looks promising...

            OH agallag I COULD KISS YOU!

            On the second link I saw that I should disable te USB ports. I always wondered why the board shipped with them disabled by default.

            Thanks much man, I was fresh out of ideas.

              Glad to be of service, but I think I'll pass on that kiss if you don't mind
