    Hello I am trying to setup a hardware raid-1 on a Hp proliant -> HP ProLiant ML150 G2 Server series overview - HP ProLiant Servers products and am having trouble getting windows to recognize it.

    When the computer boots it says it sees the raid 1 array with the proper hard disk size. When windows boots from the install Cd and I hit F6 it says it doesnt recognize some of the mass storage devices. I hit S and try to install the some of the drivers from the CD and hp site but none of them are working or windows say it already has a newer version of that driver.

    The controller is:

    HEWLETT PACKARD ADAPTEC PCI 2120S SCSI RAID CTLR CONTROLLER ML110 (5V ONLY) NO-CABLE

    The drivers I tried are:

    Software and Drivers - download HP ProLiant (100 Series) 64-Bit/133-MHz Single Channel Ultra320 Windows drivers, 3.0.0.0 A

    And off the CD:

    Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S Controller Windows Driver <- It seems like this driver should be the one but it says it wont work on 64 bit systems. I looked on hp's site and do not see a new driver, but I will continue to look more.

    Am I right thinking that I need to get windows to recognize the array before I do the rest of the install? That would make sense so it could mirror it all during the install, but if there is some other way to do I would be willing to try that also.
