I have two SATA drives with RAID 1 configuration. I set up the RAID in the configuration manager. I then start loading windows 2003 server. Once I reboot however and try to boot to the hard drive I get the "verifying DMI pool data" error. Can someone please help me with this? THanks!

need some more information. In the BIOS , boot sequence, what is the boot HDD label? Also, what are you using for the Serial ATA? Promise SATA? A built in mainboard SATA controller? If so, is it Promise Serial ATA? Are you using a add on PCI SATA controller card? When you install W2003 server did you install the SATA controller drivers and the SATA device drivers when W2003 Server asks if you have Mass Storage Device drivers to install?

You need to press f6 early during installation of win 2k3 server (when the system asks if you want to install a 3rd party SCSI driver). Then you will need the diskette with the Serial ATA driver (you may have to download the newest version first, i had a problem with an intel based s-ata raid controller using the supplied driver).
