Gotta love F6 RAID drivers.
So, I am running a Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-57 machine with 3.5GB (Was SUPPOSED to be 4GB, but stupid seller sent me a half-dud stick, 512MB isn't enough for me to send it back though) of DDR-400.
This is on an EPoX 2themax EP-9NPA+SLI, which has no resources or manual that I can find (EPoX is bust and so are their downloads even on the internet archive).
This board has an nForce 4 SLI chipset with 4 drive SATA 2 RAID. I have four WD1600 160GB SATA hard drives I have arranged into a four drive RAID 0/stripe. Windows XP installs perfectly fine, detecting the entire array as one drive, and being able to format and copy files to it. Well, I want to try out Windows 2000 for stability reasons, but unfortunately using either the Windows 2000 or Windows XP drivers ends up giving me two 131 GB empty drives on the same drive ID, and when I install to one, it copies files nowhere and doesn't allow for booting.
I have no clue why it's doing this, as they are the right drivers for the right chipset. It's the exact same driver packaged that works for Windows XP, so why it just straight up refuses to work is beyond me. Any ideas of what I could try?
