I am seting up a new computer and have two things I am curious about.
1). I have setup a RAID drive from two 150GB drives. When the computer boots it seems to read the drive correctly because when it scrolls past the loading screen it says it sees 1 275 GB drive.
However, when I run the windows installer it still sees two seperate drives. Is this correct? Can the windows installer see past the RAID or did I set it up wrong.
2)
The windows install wont continue. I formated a new partition and ran the first part of windows installer. It then needs a restart. I restart the computer, everything loads, and it says boot from disk. I let this run past so it boots from the drive (if I boot from the disk it just goes back to the first install and thinks I am trying to install another instance of windows). When the machine starts up the windows install again it says "disk read error" .
Could this be a problem with my harddrive or with the CD? Could the RAID problem above be causing it?
