Install the NVIDIA nForce Driver Package while in Windows 2000 and reboot the system. Go to START> Programs>Nvidia Corporation and select NVRAID manager. You should see the single disk RAID array (in striping mode) that was created from the boot disk. Select the single boot disk RAID Array by clicking on it. Select Convert Array under the System Tasks and select Next following the instructions. Select the desired type of RAID array you want to convert and then select Next. You are prompted to select the desired Free Disk(s) to add to the bootable RAID array. Press Finish then NVRAID will start converting the single disk RAID array into a multi-disk RAID array in a bootable format.

Note: Conversion may take 1~2 hours depending on disk size.

Users must create a combination installation CD that includes Windows 2000 and Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 4 fixes integrated in. To create the combination installation CD, refer to the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/HFdeploy.htm

Note: If users choose not to install Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or 4, RAID is still supported on Windows 2000. However, users will not be able to create a bootable RAID volume.
