Trying to load XP Pro on a system server I bought having problems

by dlleo . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

I bought a server With TMZ CPU 2.4ghz with RAID5 on it and Phoenix V600PG.

I am trying to install Windows XP Pro on a single drive WD500G SATA however I am incuring some problems. When I go to the BIOS to boot from CD to install XP on the drive it will not let me do this. It runs through the boot process and gives me the following. devise listing:

device Device Class IRQ

2 Display Contr 5
26 USB 5
26 USB 5
26 USB 9
27 Multimedia Dev 9
29 USB 5
29 USB ”
29 USB ”
29 USB ”
29 USB ”
31 RAID Control 5
0 Net Controler 5
0 Net Control 5
15 Net Control 9
API Control 9

Identifying Data Pool
MGR is missing
Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

When I go back into my CMOS I do not see the HDD at all nor is it booting up. However if I go to the Hard Disk Boot Priority I can see the SCSI-0 WD5000 HD?

What gives? What am I doing wrong here…. How do I get the system to boot to drive so I can load XP on the HDD as a clean install. Should I load XP on my secondary system turn off Vista while it is installing XP on the secondary drive? Or will that screw things up.

I am lost here…. Please Help!
