i just bought 2 WD raptor 150gb drives and set them into RAID 0, i wanted to install windows xp on the raid. so i did the whole F6 during the install and installed the raid driver. it rebooted and installed windows then after installing more drivers(nvidia sound card). i rebooted and it said that it cannot find the drivers for the raid and i need to reinstall windows. so i dont know what went wrong. plz help
 
I'm not sure I fully understand the problem, but go into your BIOS and make sure your SATA ports are set to RAID (they sound as if they already are, how else could you install windows to it... but it never hurts to check). While you're in there make sure your RAID is set as the HD boot device. Of course, make sure that the RAID still exists in the RAID setup, one of the hd's may have fallen out. And just to cover all bases, make sure both hd's have a secure connection to the MB and to the HD.
 
friends are also scratching their heads about this error. but i just went ahead and installed it on a normal sata drive and everything seems to be just fine. windows sees the raid drives and there hasnt been any problems with it. so i guess ill wait till next install to try again
