I cannot get it to boot regardless of what I do to it. I have to retain the data on the raid array though.<BR /><BR />any Ideas<BR /><BR />Alex Tue, 27 May 2003 10:13:23 GMT alex green_1 2003-05-27T10:13:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/netserver-lhii/m-p/2982298#M4790 I am having problems getting the bios to boot from an IDE drive with a raid array with the data on.

The IDE controller on Netservers was, supposedly, not designed to support hard drives. So this is why there is no selection for inclusion in the boot strap.<BR />You CAN however add an inexpensive IDE controller or even a Promise IDE RAID Controller to add mirroring support, if you wish.
