I bought an xp disk that works on my regluar desktop but when I try it on my laptop which has raid 0 it says it says ( ounce the disk finishes loading the windows files ) it cannot detect a drive and make sure its connected yadayada I already have windows vista on my laptop but I want to clean install xp I assume it is because I have raid 0 and need to do something? Or do I have to format first, please help thank you!

The generic RAID drivers that Windows includes will install the OS, but not make it bootable. Lovely, I know.

This article might help, too, but ...

please read the comments before following the instructions, as I recall a few glitches being reported, but don't remember what exactly all of them were. I read the article, the comments, and installed Windows *once*, then forgot much of the information.
