Installing the HostRAID Driver for Windows 2000, 2003, and XP Changing Boot Controllers If you want to reconnect your bootable hard disk drive from the SCSI controller to the HostRAID controller, you must: 1 Install the HostRAID controller into your system without attaching any devices to it. See the controller documentation for more information on installation. 2 Install the driver from the Windows driver disk you created. See Installing the Driver When Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 is Already Installed on page 5-3. 3 Shut down Windows and turn off your system. 4 Switch the bootable hard disk drive from the old SCSI controller to the HostRAID controller. 5 Power on your system. Windows 2000/2003/XP Installation and Configuration Notes Windows Disk Management When creating a new array on a system running under Windows 2000/2003/XP, the array is not listed in Windows Disk Management until the array is initialized. This is normal Windows functionality. Boot Order In Windows vs. the SCSISelect Utility During Windows installation, Windows does not show the devices in the boot order. Instead, it shows the arrays with the lower ID first. To minimize confusion during Windows installation, try one of the following: s Disconnect all devices other than members of the boot array, so that only one logical device is present in the Windows installation. Reconnect all other devices after Windows is successfully installed. s Configure the boot array in the system BIOS or with SCSISelect so that the lowest ID is a member of the boot array. See the system documentation for more information. 5-5
