|
| Windows NT | When Windows NT is installed via a bootable CD, the |
|
| Installation | devices on the MegaRAID Express 500 will not be |
|
|
| recognized until after the initial reboot. The Microsoft |
|
|
| documented workaround is in SETUP.TXT: |
|
|
| SETUP.TXT is on the CD |
|
|
| To install drivers when Setup recognizes one of the |
|
|
| supported SCSI host adapters without making the devices |
|
|
| attached to it available for use: |
|
|
| 1 Restart Windows NT Setup. |
|
|
| 2 When Windows NT Setup displays |
|
|
| Setup is inspecting your computer's |
|
|
| hardware configuration..., |
|
|
| press <F6> to prevents Windows NT Setup from |
|
|
| performing disk controller detection. This allows |
|
|
| you to install the driver from the Drivers disk you |
|
|
| created. All SCSI adapters must be installed |
|
|
| manually. |
|
|
| 3 When Windows NT Setup displays |
|
|
| Setup could not determine the type |
|
|
| of one or more mass storage devices |
|
|
| installed in your system, or you |
|
|
| have chosen to manually specify an |
|
|
| adapter, |
|
|
| press S to display a list of supported SCSI host |
|
|
| adapters. |
|
|
| 4 Select Other from the bottom of the list. |
|
|
| 5 Insert the Drivers Disk you made when prompted |
|
|
| to do so and select MegaRAID Express 500 from this |
|
|
| list. In some cases, Windows NT Setup repeatedly |
|
|
| prompts to swap disks. Windows NT will now |
|
|
| recognize any devices attached to this adapter. |
|
|
| Repeat this step for each host adapter not already |
|
|
| recognized by Windows NT Setup. |
