Install RAID after initial XP install?
Try loading the xp cd,exit welcome screen,shut-down
computer.On start-up,you will get a dynamic install- ation option of xp,it will save youre current configur- ations,the only loss are all updates the updater inst alled,you can add the raid option at that time. -----Original Message----- Lost hard drive and did a clean install of XP. MB is Gigabyte GA8IEXP with onboard Promise RAID (IDE). I noticed that XP Install asked early on if I wanted to install a RAID controller. I didn't have the drivers to hand so I passed the opportunity to set up the RAID controller at that time. Everything else went fine but Device Manager of course shows the "yellow ?" for the RAID controller. I manually installed the Promise XP driver (from Promise.com) and now Device Driver shows a line item for the Raid Controller with another "yellow ?" that says the controller can't start. I'm started a reinstall so that I could get the initial RAID Controller setup opportunity but I would need to uninstall Winfax and Autosave first. I'm willing to do that but I thought I would reach out for help first because I'm not sure that wouldn't be a rat hole too. The basic question is whether there is a way to install the Promise IDE RAID Controller after XP has been installed without it. Thanks in advance for any help. . |
