just wanted to know what i should do in this sitiuation!

Setup a RAID array(striping on two wd1200 jb's) the array was created successfully and the windows setup starts, i install the raid controller drivers(Koutech SIL680-RAID) and the windows setup formats the drive, and installs setup files.

after this happens, i set to boot from SCSI in the bios,reboot , the system posts, detects the raid controller, and the array successfully. and after that i get a blank screen (the part where the windows splash screen should be ) for about 30 seconds, then the system reboots(always)

is there something im doing wrong?(both drives are jumpered as single master)

PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :(

i really wanna get this array setup tonight :(

If the Array is working and can be formatted (Long version not quick) then your array should be reading and writing ok.

Maybe try updating the Controllers bios. This fixed a few of my problems I had setting up my raid array.
