ide raid controller

30 May

if putting into a production system.

1. ghost system
2. before putting current hard drives onto controller, put controller into system and load drivers.
3. move main drive over to controller and secondary drive. make sure you know which drive is the primary controller on the raid card.
4. boot machine… should ask about mirroring the drives, go ahead
5. after mirror it should boot into windows.

the main thing is to make sure windows has the drivers loaded before putting the drive onto the controller otherwise it won’t boot.
