Installing OS on FT Volumes

NTDEV
1

Hi guys,
just wanted to know whether I can boot from a windows nt 4.0 fault tolerant
volume.

typically what i want to do is :

  1. Install WIndows nt 4.0 workstation on a fresh system.
  2. Create a Windows fault tolerant volume (a stripe set or a volumeset)
    using disk administrator (say i call it P:)
  3. Now run Windows NT server setup and install windows nt server on P:

Now,
Question 1. Will the installation succeed ?
Question 2. If installation succeeds, will I ever be able to boot in
wintdows nt Server.

Thanks in advance

Though you can boot from RAID1(disk mirroring) disks,
you can never boot from a RAID5 disk(Stripe set with parity)
or RAID0(stripe set).
