Ác (6) Configuring a bootable RAID array with Microsoft Windows 2000 Problem: Users cannot install Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 (or previous versions) to a bootable RAID volume. There are two solutions to resolve this issue. Solutions 1: Use the NVRAID tool (nForce Driver Version 5.xx) to convert the boot volume to a RAID array. Here are the detailed step-by-step instructions: Step 1: Install Windows 2000 onto a selected hard drive. Download and install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 from Microsoft's website. Step 2: After system restarts, press Del to enter system BIOS Setup during POST (Power-On Self Test). Under the Integrated Peripherals menu (Figure 21) assure the SATA port connecting the SATA hard disk (the one containing the Windows 2000) is Enabled (Figure 21/22). Save settings and exit the BIOS setup.
