I want to be able to image the RAID drives for backup and restore purposes sorta like this:
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?p=1647021

the driver you gave me worked with F6 on the w2k3 cd, but not with UBCD or BartPE.
the intel assistant cd creates a preinstall environment in a temporary partition during the intstall.
i'm tempted to run the installer and stop it at this stage during this process to poke around those files.

Let me know how it works.

it worked on floppy w the W2K3 CD. i'll make a UBCD and see if it works with F6. thanks.

This is the error I get when I F6:

\Windows\MegaIDE.sys caused and unexpected error (18) at line 2335 in d:\nt\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

The line # and path on D: change depending on which OS I boot with (W2k3, XP, UBCD4WIN, etc).

Nope. Which driver are you using on the floppy? URL if possible. Do you do anything other than extract it to the floppy disk? Thanks.

I am having the same issues with RAID not loading on the Intel S3000AH mobo. I've built many BartPE and UBCD4Win CDs with and without using N-lite to slipstream the driver, but none load the RAID driver. I have only been able to get the W2K3 embedded RAID driver loaded using the Intel Deployment Assistant 1.3 CD. With it, I can install W2K3 or XP. When I attempt to F6 during an XP SP2 or W2K3 install I ran myself, I get an error when it attempts to load the RAID driver. This is the same driver the Assistant uses!!! The error varies, but it says there was a bad command on line 2000 or so and then gives a path on D: drive. I will copy and past it later when I get in front of the server.

The Assistant is a linux cd, but it does create a PE for W2K3 on a separate partition that is uses then removes. I am tempted to blow my server away again and look at what the Assistant creates. If I do, what should I look for and post here to help out? Thanks.
