I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit on the following hardware:

  • motherboard Intel DBS1200BTL
  • Promise FastTrak TX4660 RAID controller
  • 4 disks set up in two RAID1 arrays (handled by FastTrak)

I am trying to install Windows so it would boot from RAID1 volume created with the FastTrak controller.

The installation goes as in the manual, I insert the disk with the driver, select 'Browse' and specify the correct driver, it finds all the RAID arrays but notifies me that error 0x80300001 happened, Windows can't be installed on the mentioned RAID volumes, since they may not be bootable (even though the target RAID volume is the first in boot options list).

If I proceed with the installation, Windows copies and unpacks itself, performs other standard actions after that. After the computer is restarted, it won't boot (Windows Boot Manager appears in the boot devices list; however, neither it nor the RAID volume itself does not boot).

Is it a known problem? I can attach the boot disks to the motherboard and use its RAID capabilities instead, but I'd prefer FastTrak ones.

Driver version is 1.3.0.4.

Thanks.
