How to reinstall XP on RAID hds?
I need to re-install XP on RAID haddrives. Do I reset the RAID volumes
or delete the volumes or what? I installed a pirated copy of XP and now can't install service pack 1 because of "invalid product key". So Ill go buy XP and start over. How do I re-install it? |

Once you buy your legal copy, you may be able to reset the serial number. If
you try to Activate your current copy, it will refuse to activate due to the bad number and will give you the option to retype it. Type in the number from your new CD. If this doesn't work, then a reinstall over what is currently there would probably be the easiest. To install to RAID hard drives depends on the RAID controller and how you set up the RAID. Usually, you use the controllers utility to set up the RAID and when you first start the install of XP, press F6 when prompted (it's a short prompt, so be ready) and insert a floppy with the XP drivers for the RAID controller. -- Wayne Morgan wrote in message ...
