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
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:
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.
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.
