skilless · 09-13-2004, 01:02 AM

I have two 74G raptors in raid 0 that I can't get xp to detect.

Everything goes smoothly on setup. I hit f6, install promise xp drivers,then it eventually gets the the "welcome to windows setup " screen where is asks me to hit enter to setup xp

I hit enter to install xp and it says "setup did not detect any hard disk drives installed on your computer "

i've double checked the connections
-sata cables secure on both ends
-correctly plugged into PRI_SATA & SEC_SATA
-power plugged into drives
-Bios deects them on reboot
-raid 0 array created in fastbuild
-onboard promise controller [enabled]
-operating mode [raid]
-onchip sata boot rom (im not sure what this does so i tried installing xp with it both disabled and enabled and got the same result, right now its enabled).

Any info would be helpful, thanks.
