RAID 0 or RAID 1

Clarifications

But with XP you need to Press the [b]F6 Key[/b] when the first blue screen appears and then when prompted insert a Floppy with the RAID Drivers copied to it's Root and press Enter. This will load the RAID Drivers and allow you to configure as required.

If you don't have a Floppy Drive available or do not want to fit one temporally you can Slipstream the RAID Drivers to the Install Disc with a Product like nLite available here

Once you have the RAID Drivers loaded and they have to be XP Drivers it is just a matter of following the prompts.

Col

at boot time, you need to have the raid driver before you can install the os.

hi
good intro to RAID here -

http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Howto/mb/abit/kx7-333/raid-cont.htm

first thing is decide which type you need (if any)
if you need help with stop errors it helps to include the the stop error number...and hardware as mentioned
cheers

I finally found the answer to my dilema! Below is what I had to do to get it to work...
Microsoft* Windows may blue-screen with the error message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL when the installation media does not include an integrated service pack.

Starting with BIOS 79, support for enhanced sleep states was added, which relies on code found in the service packs as listed below.

* Windows Server* 2003 32-bit and 64-bit requires Service Pack 1
* Microsoft* Small Business Server 2003 requires Service Pack 1
* Windows* XP 32-bit requires Service Pack 2

Workarounds

1. Temporarily disable BIOS setting
1. BIOS > Advanced > Processor > Configuration, and Disable 'Core Multi-Processing'
2. Install core OS, then install service packs
3. Re-enable 'Core Multi-Processing'
2. Install with media that includes the integrated service pack (slipstreamed)

Note: Microsoft* Windows 2003 Release 2 is not affected with this issue.

THANK YOU TO ALL that responded.
