While I have at least one system working, such as it is, I need to
start redoing the second one.
I messed up when I installed Win2KSP4R1 on the second system. It's
got 4 disks, two tied into a RAID. The controllers are as follows
Standard floppy disk controller
Primary IDE Channel [Controller]
Secondary IDE Channel [Controller]
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
RocketRAID 1520 S-ATA Controller (PCI Adapter)
My original intent was to put the OS on the RAID and data on IDE 1 &
2. Well, stumbling in the darkness of my ignorance, I ended up
installing Win2K on both the first IDE and the RAID. The system boots
up on the first IDE drive. Never sees the RAID installation and I
have not been able to switch, so that the system boots up on the
RAID. The logic of RAIDs still escapes me. Got a mental block about them.
I would like to "redo" the system and have it boot up on the RAID,
without having to reformat the present boot disk (IDE).
Does anyone have an idea what would be a proper strategy to
accomplish that? I don't mind re-installing all the programs afterwards.
Your help will be appreciated.
