I have X7DWN with Adaptec RAID set-up , when I install WIN 2003 , I hit F6 key to input the RAID driver from USB FD . It won’t detect the hard drive . What ‘s wrong?
Many new desktop and server motherboards are coming without legacy
34-pin floppy connectors. This means it is necessary to add an external
USB floppy drive to load SATA RAID or SCSI drivers [F6 method]. This can
only be done from a floppy disc with Windows XP, 2000, or 2003 (Vista
can load them from USB flash drive).
A problem will arise with certain USB floppy models, most notably
certain Sony and Mitsumi models and certain others. It is caused by how
Windows recognizes the USB floppy drive.
There are two solutions:
1) Use another brand USB floppy that is compatible
2) Modify the driver file so it will recognize the USB floppy drive
correctly
To modify the RAID drivers find the file called "txtsetup.oem" then open
the file on another machine using a text editor such as Notepad, and add
the following lines to the bottom of the [HardwareIds.scsi.(device
name)] section (copy and paste below):
id = "USB\VID_03F0&PID_2001", "usbstor"
id = "USB\VID_054C&PID_002C", "usbstor"
id = "USB\VID_057B&PID_0001", "usbstor"
id = "USB\VID_0644&PID_0000", "usbstor"
