Re: Installing RAID 0 Array With Vista

Apparently if you launch the install from within XP SP2, then add the
"legacy" directory off the Beta 2 Nforce4 Drivers you can get this to work,
but with Beta 2 only!.

This does not work for later builds, i can only hope this is fixed in RC1 or
by new NVIDIA Drivers...

G'day Trent.

Assuming that you have configured XP on a RAID array, then try this.

You should have a utility that lets you copy the RAID device drivers to
floppy - do it.
Then as the other poster stated, launch the Vista installation from within
XP.
You will get to a screen which shows your partition information. On that
screen there is a button - load drivers. Point it at your floppy and select
the drivers.

On my old machine I had a VIA chipset and the RAID installation was done
automatically, but my new board has the Nvidia chipset and I needed to
create a floppy with the drivers on it.

Hope that helps.
Graham.
