Xp pro raid setup

Any ideas on this one? Thanks for all your help. Where is this install disk?? I have it on cd but windows won't allow me to look there. I looked in folder and of course its not there either where to find this installation disk.

What I did was to download the latest drivers of Asus' site and the copy that to a stiffy. Asus' site is www. Boot form sata raid I want to boot from a raid drive virtually the same thing as in this thread. In fact I have nearly the same mother board.

Did everything work out with this installation? Using one CD Rom drive for installation, when windows installation ask if I have a 3rd party raid driver Can I change from the xp install cd to the mobo cd that includes the raid driver and and go to the driver directory?

I downloaded a copy of the driver from Asus. What is a stiffy? Thanks, John. Similar threads. Replies 0 Views Jun 20, yRaz. Graphics glitch or no signal while booting from win7 inst. Replies 1 Views Aug 1, Cycloid Torus.
