My preference would be performance, not necessarily data safety..
The questions I have are as follows..
I have read the promise 20276 RAID controller manual and GA 8PE667 Ultra 2 mobo
manual and have sucessfully created a RAiD 0 array across the pair. The problem I am having
is that when I try to reinstall XP os, I press F6 to specify device and load the driver for
the controller which I got from Giabyte website and, MBFASTTRACK133 LITE and SETUP comes
back with the error "file\winxp\fasttrak.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2113 in
D:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
At the moment I am stuck with this?? There are two promise drivers listed in the
download, one is ATA 133 drivers and the other RAID. In the Raid folders there are two xp
drivers, one under the windows xp folder and one under WHQL 2KXP folder, where it "new
driver". I have tried both but get the same result.
having spent a considerable time researching this error on the net it seems it is
quite common?
Could anybody please offer me some help in finding a solution. Mostly I read "make
sure you get the right driver and then press F6"..
promise website doesn't seem to list the driver and states that it doesn't offer
support for on board promise raid controllers, refer to mobo manufacturer...
Gigabyte is where I downloaded the drivers from so that's not really helping..
** I have the jumpers on the drives both set to master.. as per the manual..(using fastbuild
to set up array I am only offered "performance" i.e. striped.. "security" i.e. mirrored is
not available? Thought this might be worth noting although I am not sure if it would create
a problem loading the driver???
cheers :-)
