Okay this may be long winded We currently have a HP proliant ML350 G2. We have 2 SCSI hard disk drives one for the operating system and one for the data. I want to upgrade the server with fault tolerance. I want the operating system on RAID1 and the data on RAID5. The current SCSI controller hardware installed in the server is not RAID (Compaq 64bit/66MHz Dual channel wide ultra3). So I have had to purchase a RAID controller (Compaq Smart array 532) Now I want brand new hard drives so I have purchased 5 SCSI HDD from HP. I want to ghost the operating system from the current hard drive onto the new one. Okay when I ghost using Norton ghost 2003 everything works fine and the new hard drive boots up. However when I move the new hard drive onto the RAID controller it will not boot into windows. I have set it in the bios to be the boot controller but it will not work. I know it isn’t a hardware fault because I have installed windows on this card the week previous to test it. The hard drive is set to SCSI ID: 0 I just need some way of telling it to boot from that HDD I noticed when the SCSI card is detected it says “SCSI bios not installed” How can I make the hard drive boot into windows? Please help John C

Your ghosted image of the operating system probably does not have the RAID drivers installed??? So, therefore, it won't boot from the RAID controller. Search Engines Are Your Friends ☺ Morpheus: There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. "The Matrix"
