I’ve just found a floppy and pretty sure I’ve got the right drivers now to install XP but now I dont know about the drive or whether XP will see the drive in this state so I’m not sure what to do now. When I did do a restart it says 1 drive is degraded state but I have not yet been able to access an operating system only the dell server management.

I think I did a consistency check which came up with a failed drive and I think it’s automatically rebuilding the drive as it says drive 1 : ONLIN A00-01 / drive 2 : REBLD A00-00, I cant configure anything at the moment as it says drive is currently in RBLD state, but theres no indication it’s actually doing anything and I turned off the computer not knowing what I was doing whilst it said this and pulled out the drives thinking it would correct itself.
