So a little about my goal:
Two PowerEdge R310s
Windows 2008 R2 Standard
One Adaptec 6805E in each
RAID1+0 configuration for each
8x10k Raptor SATA per RAID1+0 (16 drives total)
I need both of these servers to mirror one another overnight. I need to put the drives in an external storage rack...
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: few days BUDGET RANGE: about 750 to 1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: The computer should support 3 to 4 monitors that will enable the ability to use multiple programs on each monitor.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: No OS or productivity software needed...
There has got to be a way to update the drivers so that the computer boots with the new motherboard and controller.
I have the GA-73PVM-S2H motherboard which has an Nvidia chipset
I have also read the switching storage controllers sticky. It isn't helping me
I am in a situation where I changed the motherboard, processor and added a RAID (mirror) array. I used Norton Ghost to transfer all data from the old IDE drive to the SATA RAID array. I get the infamous blue screen. I am almost sure this is due to the storage controller. How can I update the...

It is very weird because now I'm not able to use any keyboard.
I have no tried installing using a single unformatted disk while in RAID yet.
I wonder why the floppy RAID driver I downloaded from their site will not work when I click Load Drivers during Vista setup. very strange...
Rockchalk,
I am using the Intel RAID configured in RAID 1 Mirror with a 5.7 GB partition. The two drives I'm using for the RAID1 are Hitachi Deskstar HDS722516VLSA80.
I have those two drives cloned from another drive. Now when I try booting from just one drive, the keyboard is nonresponsive...
Just tried a clean install using Vista. I had both drives in RAID, and just in case have a floppy containing the drivers for the ICH RAID Controller. I proceeded to do a clean install of Windows Vista x86 and noticed the Raid volume did in fact show up as well as the other partition which is...
