the Virtual Machine just failed to boot, giving me the exact same blue screen as the 2nd blue screen in my Ars Technica Post. Then I used the VMWare converter to virtualise this new setup. The software RAIDed Hard Drive has 2 partitions, so I copied a recent C Drive backup onto the 2nd partition (as this was not being used) and then I edited the boot.ini to add an entry for the NT4 on the other partition, rebooted into the 2nd partition’s NT and then broke the software RAID on that partition. This left me with an option I was SURE would work. sorta worked, but the applications require usernames and passwords that just don’t exist in the fresh install of NT4.Ĥ. MS even states its intended for archival use. If you use default GUI settings, parity performance is pretty dismal. Installed Windows NT on the virtual machine and tried to copy across the software, doing registry exports and imports to get all the settings correct. You can make parity work better but have to fuss with settings in powershell. didn’t work (the second blue screen in my Ars Technica post)ģ. SUPPORT RAID Done Right OWC SoftRAID is powerful yet easy-to-use RAID software that maximizes drive capacity, offers faster performance, and protects against data loss. Rebuilt the Virtual C Drive from a Backup and tried to boot the virtual system. didn’t work (first blue screen in my Ars Technica post)Ģ. MacDrive 11 Pro takes Mac disks access in Windows even further with full read and write access to Mac APFS and HFS+ formatted SoftRAID and Apple RAID 0/1. Ran the VMWare converter and tried to boot the virtual system. FIXED: a bug in the SoftRAID application which prevents it from running on macOS 13, Ventura. ADDED: Incorporates many security improvements in the SoftRAID driver. Windows NT4 SP6a (although the VMWare converter keeps complaining that it doesn’t have this service pack)ġ. ADDED: windows to the SoftRAID application with instructions for finishing the driver installation process when running macOS 11 or later. I do not wish to break the mirror on this computer as it is, quite sadly, a critical piece of infrastructure.Ī Software RAID Hard Drive with 2 Partitions (one being the system partition) RAID 4/1+0 (10) are currently Mac only at this time. SoftRAID Pro and Lite work on work on OWC and third party enclosures. SoftRAID XT is designed for OWC storage solutions only. Apple silicon (M1) Macs require macOS 11.3 or later. I have searched through this community, and it seems that windows software raid just does not virtualise. SoftRAID works with macOS 10.12 or later and Windows 10 or later. Rather than repeating myself, please refer to this forum post I did at Ars Technica:
