Hey guys, I was using a Supermicro X8SIL-F(i3-530, 2GB ram) for a 8TB WHS setup.
I decided to move to 2008r2 and a Raid card and 4 SAS HP HDDS.
I found a OEM rocketraid 2640x4, installed the card and SAS HDD's
System boots up fine, but i cant get into the raid card bios to setup the raid then load server 2008r2.
The 2008r2 disk goes to load the OS, cant find the disk, I load the raid card drivers, it sees all 4 SAS hdds, but I cant load the OS because the driver are not loaded on the raid card bios.
I am new to raid, but from what I read, I should be able to enter the raid card bios, setup the type of raid, then windows sees the partion?
any thoughts - i checked all the mobo bios settings, couldnt find anything to help me.
