RAID Function
4-1-2 Installing Driver in Existing Windows 2000/XP System
WARNING: If you will be moving the boot drive containing the existing Windows
2000/XP operating system to a mirrored RAID 1 array on the RAID Function ,
the RAID Function driver MUST be loaded to the hard drive while it is still
attached to your existing hard drive controller. Do not attach this drive or any
other hard drive to the RAID Function controller before completing this step.
After installing the RAID Function and rebooting your system, Windows 2000/XP
setup will show a "New Hardware Found" dialog box. Under Windows 2000/XP, the
"PCI RAID Controller" will be displayed.
1. In the dialog box, choose "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer"
button.
2. In the A: drive, insert the RAID Function driver diskette.
3. Type "A:\WIN2000/XP" in the text box. Press "Enter".
4. Choose "Win2000/XP Promise MBFastTrak133 Lite Controller" from the list that
appears on screen, then press the "Enter" key.
5. The Windows 2000/XP Setup screen will appear again saying "Setup will load
support for the following mass storage devices – Win2000/XP Promise
MBFastTrak133 Lite controller". The RAID Function driver will now be copied on
to the system and entered into the Windows 2000 driver database.
6. When the "System Settings Change" dialog box appears, remove the floppy diskette
and click on "Yes" to restart the system. Windows 2000/XP will then restart for the
driver installation to take effect.
7. Power off your system, then attach your hard drives to the RAID Function
connector.
Confirming Windows 2000/XP Installation

by the System icon.
