I just built a new computer.

CPU: AMD FX 8Core
MoBo: GA-970A-UD3
Six 3TB WD Drives (Raid5)

I had to remove DRV0 (1-1) from the array to install Win7 Ult.
Win7 Ult. wasn't able to install on the RAID (Even after drivers were loaded and a 2TB volume was created).

I want to install Microsoft Web Server 2008 R2 in a couple of weeks and not sure if I'll have the same problem.

Has anyone had this problem before?
Am I doing something wrong?
Am I not doing something right? <-- Ha

Any feed back would be helpful.

you bought a bulldozer? im sorry.

:) Yeah. Micro Center was having a special; Buy FX class chip get mother board free. It also overlapped another deal $40 off AMD FX class CPUs. Walked out the door with both for $214 with tax.

not being a tech guy myself i am not sure what the problem is with any unit that has 2TB of volume to use for an operating system

seems that should be enough to run a large company

ah yea i got an email for that deal. i love MC. got a 2500k and an ASRock extreme4 G3 for 279+tax meanwhile people were paying $229+$149 for that combo from newegg lol.

so it must work for most peeps then?

MC FTW

Windows will copy, expand, etc..but when it's time to make the first reboot, it kicks out a message "Windows was not able to prepare this computer to boot. Please try running the installation again". After going through this 5 times, I pulled DRV0 out of the Array and just used DRV1 - DRV5 for my RAID5. Everything seems to be working now, but I really want my OS to get the speed perks from the RAID and cover my OS and settings with parity.

I figured Earth Empires has more greatter geeks then me that may know something more about this then me.

Alliance Talk would be more helpful imo

Thank you ou812...
