WinXP Pro SP2 install on 2x RAID-0

randomnumber088 · 04-10-2008, 08:19 AM

I have recently purchased a used Alienware Laptop
I have all the restore disks, RAID driver included

I want Pro not Home(on restore disk) and have a Pro version of XP

I have used "xp-Iso-Builder" Link-> http://winfuture.de/xpisobuilder3_en
And had it add the RAID driver to the install

Now its giving me:

Code:

The file fasttx2k.sys could not be found.
Setup failed.

I did some poking around to see if there was any way to point it to the CD directory
Im assuming that its set to default look to a floppy drive viva the .oem, but I have no idea how to point it back at the install CD where it is located
I do not have an external floppy drive available, and was informed by the man i purchased it from that the previous owner lost the Alienware one that came with the laptop
Also he said that he could not use the floppy drives he had and called Alienware and they said only their floppy drives would work.

Is it possible to install completely from CD or atleast avoid purchasing Alienware's floppy drive?

I apologize if more information is necessary im assuming this is all that is needed if more is i will post it quickly.
