60Gig RAID1 + dual boot = sleepless nights
Okay, here's the deal:
If I format the drives in Windows 2000, I get a allocation table error, but the drive is usable. When I boot to Windows 98, it tries to run scandisk and pooches any information on the drive.
Programs like fdisk cannot see the partition if it's made in Windows 2000. Programs like Partition Magic (and Windows 2000) can't see a formatted partition if it's made in 98.
Grr.
I'm starting to loose sleep here! Any ideas?
I've tried SP1 for 2000, and updating the UDMA100 drivers for both OSes.
I would like to get this working as a dual boot, but currently I am doing nothing more than loose sleep.
-----------------------------------
A little additional information as to what I'm doing:
I want to set-up my two 60Gig IBM Deskstars as a mirror RAID-1, visable from both Windows 2000 and 98 (FAT32). I am using 32k clusters.
Currently, I am "experimenting" with one drive, the other (with all of my data) is unplugged.
I have tried: Disk Management in Win2000: partition and format (gives table error, but disk is writable)
fdisk and format in Win98 "DOS": fdisk works fine, but format gives similar error as Win2000.
PartitionMagic: seems to work, but drive only readable in 2000, 98 reports "device not ready or controller error"
