During the installer start-up, I press F6 and load the RAID drivers from diskette, however the installer will not see the RAID partition. I've downloaded the latest drivers from Intel's site. No go. I've updated the BIOS with the latest release (P21). No go. Any thoughts are most appreciated! Thanks. /Pete/

XP and Crashes .......
(Raid 5 - 5GB netto). When I ran the 3 NT startup floppies (made with WINNT /OX by the way from the /i386 subdir on the CD) I did *not* use [F6] to jump out of the setup process for loading an OEM adapter driver. The Passplay was detected as "Mylex DAC960" by the NT hardware check - and that was it.

RAID array fine until one day...
I have not used the Raid Controller on this type of system but I have on others and the same applies with them. The drivers are not native to the NT4.0 Install and therefore they have no way find your disks unless you pre-load the drivers.

I boot off the WinXP Pro CD and press F6 to let it know I want it to load the Promise ATA100 RAID drivers from the floppy. When it goes to start the installation it gives a message saying that it doesn't detect any hard drives. It does the same exact thing booting off of a Win2k Pro CD loading the driviers. Trevor.

New XP install does not recognize RAID drives
I wanted to switch to RAID ready mode with this one drive so I can add a second drive to create a RAID 1 configuration. I used Drive Image 7 to backup the full drive.

Need Help Please: Windows Setup Not Recognizing F6 for SATA Drive
Bob Knowlden nk...@comcast.net alt comp periphs mainboard asus If you're using the SATA controllers on the board (not the Promise ones), and you're not using RAID, you don't need to install any additional drivers.

Press F6 when asked if you want to specify an additional device and Windows will request that floppy which you created. I didnt buy this board to not use the raid and im hoping to resolve this.

When the setup does not find a hard drive, it displays "If you have a RAID array or other storage device, place a floppy disk containing the drivers in the A: drive and press F6". I do, having, as the aBit instructions say, copied the Highpoint 'Hotrod' drivers for Windows 2000 on the floppy.

I carry all So, the "F6" drivers you're referring to are called what on the Intel site? Do I look for ICH5 drivers? You would be looking for drivers for the Intel raid controller. I am not exactly sure what the nomenclature is on their web site but I had no problem finding the drivers there.

You will, however, still need a floppy with the driver for the EIDE daughtercard controller and be sure to hit F6 at the very start of the install; otherwise, If you're not using RAID, I'd try moving the hard drives off the RAID ports and put them on the first 2 (non-RAID) IDE ports on the motherboard. --

If you have nothing but Win9x clients, this is not so big an issue. If you reinstall SBS from scratch, it's typical to export the Exchange mailboxes to . you will see a prompt that tells you to "Press F6 if you have a bootable device driver to load". Typically, with a RAID controller, you must do this.

Can't install RAID drivers from CD after hitting F6?
I have prepared a floppy using the "makedisk" file within the chipset folder, on the Asus Support CD, in readiness, but the F6 command doesn't do anything. That's where your second error was: you are then supposed to put in the disk with the driver for the RAID controller - NOT the chipset driver.
