The card offers high speed scalability, cost effective and space saving features that have a hardware solution for most computers. The power consumption of the Adaptec is very low even with the addition of the eight port raid card.
The card supports all levels of RAID. Same applies to the new additional technology of JBOD. The Adaptec technology is appropriate for work stations that have a high density with the server environment.
NLite seems to be good. I was looking for solution to slipstream the drivers. My laptop HDD is crashed and its not available in the market 2. I will update post tomorrow, once I done it!! Thanks again. Dude-you are genius!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help out others, and post screenshots and such I hope you get blessed in return for your kindness, you deserve it.
That was really helpful…. I almost spent half a day trying to sort it out, now it is working fine Thanks. I could solve my problems with DriverPackage thanks to your tutorial. I believe this is the best way to do this…. Dear, you saved my time and my money by reading your post.
This trick was very easy and helpful to me Many thanks. Thank you so much for this great info. I was able to slipstream the drivers using Nlite and install XP Professional on my laptop. I have never done this before and it was really pretty easy and your instructions were excellent. Your instructions to integrate raid drivers was easy and not hard to understand , thank you very much for all the information.
This was a lifesaver. Saved me lot of headache and pain. What a relief!!!! I am absolutely amazed at the nlite software. It is wonderful free utility.
I was almost going to buy a pack of floppy disk and external floppy drive. Saved me money! Excellent demonstration. You should definitely be compensated for saving all of us further headache and pain. I would not mind donating. It helped having clear and concise directions. I hope someone else in the same situation finds these directions.. Thanks a million. I am really happy.
I dont know how to thank you. And by the way, good luck for you all. It really helps me much. Given the hard limits then, and even assuming that you found a 1TB sized drive which was properly reported and could be used, the absolute maximum storage which this controller could conceivably see and manage is 6TB, made up of 3 2TB arrays in JBOD format.
Start the install of Windows Server R2 as you normally would. If you are intending to boot from your Adaptec SA RAID card then you will be presented with a blank drives available screen but are given the opportunity to load additional drivers. No matter what I did, I couldn't force the installer to accept the Windows R1 driver at this point, the installer always complained that the driver was unsigned, even if I booted with driver signing turned off. Although of a different generation to our SA it luckily utilises the same driver and the developers hadn't yet stripped out the older code.
Major advantages: Its for Vista and its signed, dates from Oct rather than the earlier Win2K3 one - and best of all, it works when injected at the installation time of Server R2.
The Vista driver will get you through the installation and allow you to boot and work with the system afterwards, you might be happy to leave it that way. However, if you want to use the most recent RAID management software, Adaptec Storage Manager , then you will absolutely need to update the driver.
Adaptec Storage Manager software versions from about v4. From about version 5. Once Windows Server R2 is installed and working with the Vista x64 driver: Restart the server At startup, press F8 repeatedly until you get a text menu of various boot options. One of these options will be: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
Select this option and press enter.
