Using Raid5 SCSI HDs, AMI MegaRaid, SCSI on board, on Windows NT4 Server. Additional 2IDE Drives should be installed and mirrored. Tried it with NT4 soft mirroring, but failed. How this has to be done ?
 
are you trying to install fresh NT server or do you have the NT server try to detect the RAID ?

if you install fresh, you need to first install the RAID driver before it get into the NT install program (by hitting F6 or F8 at a specifi time... I can remember which one for exact) or NT install program wont see the hard drive,

if you are having NT detecting the RAID, you should still install the RAID driver, then create the mirring in the disk administrator see if this works this way, make sure you backed up everything if you have existing NT server
