    For best compatibility and easiest installation, turn off RAID in the BIOS and let Windows Home Server manage your drives. RAID isn't a supported technology; usually it's possible to install on a RAID array, but for the most part you will have to sort RAID issues out yourself...
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    hello.. yes ive seen thath i also seen thath nforce isent "supported" by microsoft.. not raid on nforce based motherboards..

     

    But i managed to install win 2003 serv on raid 5 so i mean i will try to install whs on raid 5 whit the same drivers.

    my last server was an hp proliant dl380 running raid 5 whit 6 drives. worked fine whih whs but then again the drives here was wery expensive for swapping them out whit sombigger ones! so i powerd this server down.  but it worked fine.

    i hope microsoft really fix this nforce raid  problems in the new home server!!  i meen tath it not a real server if i cant rund raid! !

    It's a Window Home Server, not a "real server".
    Raid is not for WHS. If you want to do RAID, choose another Server SKU since obviously WHS is not your product.
