Hey,

How do I make a raid disk. Really need one since I am having problems, and it wont work with a CD.

Tried copying the raid drivers from my motherboar's utilty disk cd to a disk but that does not work.

Guessing it has to be bootable. So how do I go about making a bootable raid disk, or whatever.

Thanks,
Will

raid stands for Redundant Array of Indipendent Disks and in plain english is when you connect 2 harddisks to make a single large partition.
then, probably is my fault, but I have not what you are asking for...

Guessing: if You want to mount your disks in raid you must have either a raid controller or a software raid controller(many linux distributions have the latter..)

but, if my answer is wrong(off topic) and you want my help, please be a little more specific...

To get a raid driver to work with Windows XP you need to install the drivers onto a floppy, start xp setup and press F6 to install a raid driver when it appears briefly on the screen at the bottom then it will ask you to insert the disk and will then list the drivers on the disk and you choose one to install then setup continues as normal and that raid driver is included into Windows startup so the raid hdd is always available

Hiya Will :)
Actually, this could be a hardware Q ;)

But if you want to make a software raid'd drive, you will need to partition atleast 2
drives as dynamic, then you can turn them into spanned/striped.

Or, if you are referring to hard-ware raid, you will need :

1 - Raid ctrl.
2 - 2 or more harddrives
3 - Driver for the above ctrl.
4 - Time to think... do you want RAID 0, 1, 5 ?
5 - Next input :P

Never mind I figured it.

Not sure why f6 was not working but now it is. :)
