RAID Step 4: Install the RAID Driver During OS Installation The RAID driver must be installed during the Windows XP or Windows 2000 in- ® ® stallation using the F6 installation method. This is required in order to install the operating system onto a hard drive or RAID volume when in RAID mode or onto a hard drive when in AHCI mode.
Page 119
RAID Step 5: Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager The Intel Matrix Storage Manager can be installed from within Windows. It allows RAID volume management (create, delete, migrate) from within the operating system. It will also display useful SATA device and RAID volume information. The user interface, tray icon service and monitor service allow you to monitor the current status of the RAID volume and/or SATA drives.
