alecholmes1985 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi, im attempting to set up a raid array, however having many problems as i dont have a working floppy drive, and dont want a floppy drive either.i believe i understand how to slipstream the drivers into the iso for the raid array, however i'd like to test the iso before i burn it, for 2 reasons, 1. this is my only working os at the moment, and so to install the new raid i'll have to wipe it. and 2. so i can see if the drivers are actually installing properly and edit as nesserary.THE POINT:i want a vm pc that i can simulate a nvraid array to test my nlite iso on.forgive any grammer or strange wording, im not used to posting, i usually read all the forums i can, but having spent around 6 hours reading forum posts i thought i'd post to get some help as this is driving me a little mad.Many thanks to anyone and everyone that can help me ^_^Alecwin xp 32AMD 64 3000+1 gig ramK8N Neo Platinum - nforce 3 - nvRaid v4.81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 1 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 As far as I know you cannot simulate a hardware RAID configuration with VMWare.There is no reason to warry about slipstreaming the needed textmode drivers by using nLite. The integration method is well approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are buggy! It's better to take the Ethernet drivers from the nForce chipset driver package v.5.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter.inside Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 if you want to test RAID, use Software RAID, it works with any kind of disks and without any BIOS support. I use dynamic disks since 2003 and I'm very happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avien Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Found this article about configuring RAID with Virtual PC. Not sure if it does anything, but it might allow you to test to see if the drivers work.http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archi.../21/431410.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
