Vista Business updates don't like RAID1
One machine in my office is used as a file server i.e. all files by all the staff members are stored in that machine. I have installed *licensed Vista Business* in that machine. Yeah, I am brave (or is that called stupid?)  For data safety, I have *RAID1* in that machine (RAID card and two HDs *mirroring* the data). Many times after update, Vista cannot recognise RAID and therefore cannot boot. I have to boot from the DVD and re-install RAID card drivers   Any solution to this? -- Ashish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ashish's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22469

I'd suggest the problem was with your raid card drivers, or its firmware.
Your raid card site would probably be the best place to go for support. PS I hope you are not using winupdate for drivers. Drivers *if* required should be obtained from the manufacturers sites.

From what little I know, it is never a good idea to use raid for a boot
drive. It's best to have Vista or any system boot from an ordinary drive outside the array, and use the array for data storage. "Ashish" wrote in message ...

Hmm. So you think I should invest in another hard drive? -- Ashish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ashish's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22469

I'm no expert on RAID, but that is the advice I was given. Also, it is not a
good idea to backup the operating system to a RAID drive either. As to investing, I presume it will be an expense, and perhaps you have a smaller drive around that can be used for this. It only takes about 15 GB. So there may be no cost at all. In any event, good luck. "Ashish" wrote in message ... Hmm.
