Asus A8V IDERAID setup

[zengeos1]

I receive a message similar to that posted by another user re SATA RAID problems.

My error message, at the same point as his is

txtsetup.oem encountered error 4096 on line 1747 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

As far as I am aware, I setup the RAID correctly, and the drivers are on the floppy disk as they should be, I think...

Suggestions?

Thanks-

Well.. I decided to just put the drives on my regular IDE channel to install XP. Maybe I'll put them back on the RAID channel some other time to get it working.

make sure drivers are right, and your hard drive supports RAID

I got the raid setup on the motherboard with the two 60gig Maxtor drives. The problem was actually getting Windows to see the RAID and read/write to the disks. The Promise c ontroller found and configured them with no problem. It wasn't until I actually went to install Windows that there was a problem with them. I may try setting them up as a raid now...maybe they will work ok...dunno for sure.
