Topic: [Question] How to install to a RAID array?

Hi guys, using this driverpack how do you install to a RAID array assuming the pack has the correct driver? Will this work if the distribution folder is present ($OEM$) and will it just detect it automatically or do you have to tell it?

Im thinking of building a RAID array in my desktop for something to do plus my system needs a new install anyway big_smile

Thanks for the help.

yes you can install to an array...
as long as you can set up the array in the PC's hardware setup

yes if you want to be able to install TO the array it must be created first by the hardware (bios)...
Not all controllers support this in the firmware.

Ahh i think im with you now m8, so the software needed to create the array to begin is hardwired into the hardware then and then you can install from there.

Ok cool! thanks for the info m8y as always fantastic buddy!
