BSOD upon windows xp install

[imported_Pipes]

Hey all,

My Raptors (hard drive raid-o) crapped out recently, and yesterday I replaced them with new ones. Windows xp pro install appeared to go fine, but when the computer re-booted at the end and attempted to start windows the BSOD (blue screen of death) flashed briefly, and the computer restarted beginning a potentially endless cycle. It wouldn't even boot into safe mode. This happened as soon as the windows xp load in logo appeared. Before I start tinkering around with some of my overclock settings, Do any of you have any specific places to start? My system was completely stable before, and the only difference is the swapping out of hard drives. I also changed the raid stripe to 64. It used to be 32 or 16. Does that make a difference? thanks.

Can't see the error. It just flashes.

Did you press F6 to install your raid drivers?

Try it with a pci video card - sometimes agp cards cause the error you are talking about. Once it installs you can switch back to your agp card.

Y'all won't believe it. I don't believe it. I re-formated using a 32K stripe instead of the 64k stripe, and everything works fine. Kind of strange, but I'm not complaining. Thanks for your input.
