Windows 2000 Limitation with Bootable RAID

Problem

In Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or previous versions), the end user cannot install this

operating system to a bootable RAID volume.

Solution

The user must create a combination installation CD that includes Windows 2000 and SP3

or SP4 fixes integrated in. To create the combination installation CD, refer to the following

website:

Note: If the end user chooses not to install Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or 4, RAID is still

supported on Windows 2000. However, the end user will not be able to create a

bootable RAID volume.
