I'm trying to install XP on my new machine using a NV7-133R in a RAID 0 setup...I know that the board works because I had it running in Win98SE before. The setup is telling me that there are no mass storage devices detected and that I need to insert a disk with drivers. The problem is that I didn't get a floppy with the mobo and the setup won't read from a CD. What should I do here?

Seeing as you are online, you may as well just head over to the Abit website and try to find the drivers. then just have the disk ready when you go to install.

edit:

From the Abit website, you may have a BIOS issue that would be fixed by flashing the latest.

here it says that certain CDRW drives fail to read under XP.

Hmn. Not so sure. It says that the issue is in enabling UDMA under winXP. Can't see how that would affect this situation, but it may have something to do with it.
