I had a Install disc when this unit arrived but there was a note that said this disk should not be used for RAID configurations. This leaves me with no software to load to support the unit and there does not seem to be any support pack on the appropriate download page. I have fumbled and installed a RAID 1 but need advice as to what software packages are available.

Anyone advise?

hello,
what exactly do you need? Configure array before installing OS?

Hi Rodger,

You didn't indicate which O/S you're running.

Rgds,

Sorry, SBS 2008 R2.

To respond to Jan, I have managed to configure 3 partitions from SBS install but the last 2 seem to be RAW and not NFTS. How would I change those?

Secondly, during the process of configuring RAID, I ended up with what seemed to be a permanant "Rebuild" state indicated if I went into the BIOS (F10) during the boot phase. I want to know if this is a problem because I have seen "Healthy" or "Ready" before now. Is the "RAW" perhaps preventing rebuild so will go away when corrected to NTFS?

PS note that I am due to reinstall SBS 2008 again to deal with a domain issue so want to get it right this time. I want 3 partitions @ 120GByte for OS, 350GByte for Data and the rest for backups. Many thanks.
