I cant get the installation program to find my RAID drive. After pressing "f6" and installing the newest Promise Fasttrack driver the installprogram tells me that i have no harddisk. I allready updated my bios, setup raid 0 striped, fdisk and formatted the raid.What should i do?
my system: ASUS A7V133 2 Maxtor 40Gb harddisk 1 IBM 75 Gb hd (With xp pro installed) Pioneer DVD drive
I'm rather desperate, because I tried everything. What I don't understand is the the RAID can run perfectly under the win xp pro on my IBM hd, but that I cannot install XP Pro on the RAID!!!!!!

Check to make sure your RAID array is set as 'active' partition. Go to XP's disk management to check while using your IBM HD as system disk. I had the same problem, and this was my stumbling block. HTH
