@cariocap No problem, not slow. This NAS is a computer, which you can change CPU and add more ram. But of course I ran XP just for demonstration and don't use it for daily use. Now my NAS is running the Qnap firmware.
so I see Windows detects the RAID chips in Device Manager but does it detect the SATA drives or the RAID array (0,1,5 etc) so they can be used from Windows
You need to make a XP cd which can be install and bootable on USB HDD. If you don't want to make that, I can send you a copy of my custom XP to your ftp.
Hi sunnykfc,
How was the performance of the NAS running winxp ?

Hello,
I searched for articles, how to install windows on an USB Hard Disk, i found some but it wont work... Can you help me?

this is the hardest part of all, u also need to splitstream the Intel chipset driver into the CD.
sunnykfc 2 years ago
Ok, i think this was the problem. I have made an install disk, so i can install to USB devices, but on the nas i become an error...
I tink i buy an another flash drive for the nas. The build in is only 128 MB, so i cant install windows or a linux on it. :)

yes it's a very good idea, this should make everything much more easy.

@sunnykfc
Which driver exactly?
I've integrated millions of them via nlite and nothing works.

I have PM'd you the FTP details.
Thanks.
craigcrawford1988 2 years ago
sent! Please tell me if you can boot with my CD.

Can you please write a short guide on how to do this?
I have data on my TS-509 and don't want to do something wrong and possibly destroy the HDD data or the data on the built-in Linux.
craigcrawford1988 2 years ago
hi, do you want to run Windows on your TS-509? If yes, you have to use another HDD because Windows does not recognize the Linux file format.
sunnykfc 2 years ago
Yes, I have a USB HDD and wish to run it on that.
