I can't remember, but it's in one of the Hard drive option tabs. When it's setup right, you'll get the option to press F10 (Ithink) after your system posts, enter the Raid Bios and setup the array. Then during the Windows setup at the begining, you'll need to press F6 and Windows will promt you to load the files off the floppy, you'll need to load 2 files. I'll have my NF4 board back up soon if you have any questions so I'll be able to walk you through a bit better. |
