Hello,
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me with a problem re: SATA
RAID drives/BartPE/WinXPE.
What I need to do is copy a newly built Windows XPE image onto a SATA
RAID array. To do this, I made a BartPE boot CD with network & RAID
support. I intended to reformat the fixed disks to NTFS, connect to my
XPE build machine and copy the XPE image to the newly formatted drives,
quit, and then let XPE go through its first boot agent.
I have two Seagate 80Gig SATA drives arranged (currently) in a RAID
array. When I boot into the BartPE environment, no fixed disks are
recognized. However, if I change the BIOS settings so that the two
Seagate drives are treated as IDE, both drives show up when I am in the
BartPE environment.
In my BartPE image I've included the plugin for RAID drivers; details
are here:

I've also included drivers linked from the motherboard (Motherboard:
AIMB - 750) homepage for the SATA RAID drivers for windows.
(http://www.advantech.com/support/detail_list.asp?model_id=AIMB-750)
I'm wondering if I'm missing something in my BartPE image? or if it's a
BIOS configuration error, or something totally different. I'm quite
new at this, and any help is appreciated. Also, if you have a
different suggestion of how to accomplish the goal of getting the XPE
image onto the drive, please mention it.
Thanks,
Jen
