I have been having trouble setting up a new computer. I have an areca 1220 4x7200.10 hard drives at 320 GB running in raid 5. An AMD 4600+ Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe and an ATI 1900 GT video card all inside an Antec P180 case with a 600W power supply. the First problem I had was dealing with the floppy disk drive. I had tried to install windows but had constant problems with the floppy disk and installing the raid drivers and I noticed that the disk kept getting corrupted, so I tried using another floppy disk drive that I knew was working and got the same problem when I used it on my computer. The CD I used to burn it worked fine on other computer, so I figured the motherboard had problems with the Floppy disk drive, so I used Nlite to put the Raid drivers on a Windows XP disk and everything seemed to work fine, then I started getting files that said they were corrupted or missing and had error messages when I started up windows, then if I tried again it would work fine and get different errors. I tried installing windows again just to get the same or different problems all dealing with missing or corrupt files. I was thinking I would just replace the motherboard, but the areca or could be the problem. Any ideas??? Also the computer says it can not find the HDA bus when I try to install the HD audio drivers.
Any ideas?
Any known incompatibilities between hardware??
Any known problems with NLite.. it seems to work great I did not see any bad comments on it??

I have a SATA dvd drive I was thinking about trying to see if the problem is just with the IDE part of the motherboard, but of course I do not want to have a faulty motherboard.
