RAID Troubleshooting

Q & A:

Q: May I use hard drives with different capacity or transfer mode?

A: In order to get optimized performance, we suggest using hard drives with the same model.

Q: How to assign a booting device?

A: You may press <Ctrl> <H> to assign a booting device in RAID BIOS (See Chapter 4 for detailed

information).

Q: Why can’t I see correct capacity in FDISK utility?

A: This is a well-known issue of Windows

95/98's FDISK utility. If an IBM 75GB hard disk DTLA

307075 only gets 7768MB in Windows

95/98’s FDISK utility, please contact Microsoft

for a latest

version of FDISK utility. For windows

2000, there is no such a 64GB issue.
