I went through 8 hours of pain today with my IBM PC Server 330 (mod. 8640-PB0). Somehow the three drives in my RAID 5 array got set to DDD when I tried to add a RAID 1 array to the configuration. My biggest problem was trying to start the server, which would not recognize any of the OS drives containing my Windows 2000 installation, using the ServeRAID configuration utility. Because ServeRAID 4-H does not support a boot CD drive, I tried in vain to boot with a DOS diskette and add CD device drivers so I could run the ServeRAID utility.
Is there a better solution? Is it possible to install an IDE CD-ROM drive that can be made bootable? Or does anyone know the steps, and drivers required, for adding DOS CD drivers to get the SCSI CD drive working before Windows is loaded?
