WIN2003 server install & RAID5

Hi

I'm building new server, ML370 with 3 HD, configured to RAID 5. Can I install WIN2003 server directly to this RAID 5 system ?

Timo:

If you have a Smart Array Controller or another RAID controller which your providing the RAID5 with (Hardware RAID), then you should have no problem installing Windows 2003. You may need to "Specify additional storage drivers" at setup time depending on the controller.

If you do not have Hardware RAID available, then you can only setup the server on one drive, and later use Software RAID to provide some redundancy.

Thanks. I have Smart Array controller. I just don't have time to test all cases, sometimes it's better to ask.
