 Installing Win2003 Server on a RAID Disk
RAID, RAID 0, RAID 1, SATA, Windows Server 2003
Can WIN2003 Server be installed on a disk that is part of a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array? I am trying to install Win2003 Server on an IBM eServer series X206. I have two 80 GIG SATA drives attached to a SATA RAID controller and have them both defined as members of the array. I tried both RAID 0 and RAID 1 but both times the Win2003 install cannot find a hard disk present and aborts the install process. Can the NOS be installed on a RAID device or must it be installed on one outside of the array?

Have you tried pressing F6 during the install to specify the RAID driver? As long as you have a driver for the RAID, Windows shouldn't care what RAID level is selected.
