RC200 FAQ

I installed a Rosewill RC-200 raid controller card in a windows 2000 machine.

I have two 40G hard drives and one already contained data and the second is for the mirror.

I installed the PCI card and then the drives and followed instructions to create a mirror from a drive with

existing data(yes I created a backup....thank god).

I selected Y to offline copy and it took 9 hours to copy the data to the mirror and then the boot failed

because windows 2000 did not recognize the Raid card as a boot device. I could not think of an

alternate way to fix the problem other than start over.

Now I know the original hard drive will boot to windows from the raid card.

I also know the second drive is recognized by the card and is accessible.

I followed the exact steps in the manual that came with the card.

1. create array. 2. mirror. 3. no automatic setup 3. selected primary drive. 4. selected destination drive. 5.

Yes to copy to destination. 6. No to offline. 7. Yes to auto rebuild.

When I boot the computer it goes to the raid setup in the bios screen and gives a message that the

Array is incomplete.

then it finishes the POST and hangs at the END of the post at the point it would normally go to windows

startup.

Is it really hanging or is it creating the mirror. I think the drives are working because they feel hot?

Answer:

Try the new driver we got from Silicon Image. We hope this will help you.

When booting the computer, and then encountered the "Incomplete Raid Set! Please F3 to enter Raid

Utility" error. Then it indicate that the RAID set is broken, please ignore this error message temporarily (It

means that please don't press anything at this moment, it continues to boot to Windows Operating

System), after entering into Windows Operating System, please follow these instructions below to

rebuild a RAID set.

1.)Open the Windows user-interface utility and on the left hand side, use mouse to select "Set 0".

Similarly, on right hand side, use mouse to select "Members". When the mirror is functioning properly,

the status of both drives will be current. If the mirror is broken or degraded, the status will be either

"dropped" or "rebuilding"

2.)Using mouse, select the drive that has been "dropped" and remove from the RAID set by clicking the

"Remove" key in the "Members" field of "Set 0"

3.)On the left hand side of the utility, use mouse to select the drive that was previously removed(i.e.

secondary master) and add back to the RAID set by dragging and dropping the selected drive to the

"Set 0", "Members" field. The previously removed drive will now appear in the "Members" field and an

immediate rebuild will commence.(see screenshot on below)

4.)Once the rebuild has been completed, both drives in the RAID set will return to "current" status.
