This is my first time setting up RAID. The AT7 MB comes with the HighPoint 374 RAID controller, and I used the built in utillity to setup the array. I insert the XP cd, reboot, and the setup screen appears. Now I've setup XP many times before on IDE and SCSI systems, but this is my first RAID attempt. It asks if I have any third party RAID controllers to install (I do), but pushing F6 (as it instructs) does nothing. It continues to load several drivers and files and finally says that it can't find a hard drive controller, and prompts me to insert a disk. I do, and select the appropriate driver. It continues to load more drivers and system files, and then I always get an error that usually says "the file ntfs.sys is corrupted". Sometimes it never even makes it that far, and I receive a "the file acpi.sys is corrupted" error message. I have tried using several different XP Pro cd's, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. I have also tried swapping cd drives, but with the same results. I was just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience or any ideas on how to get around this problem.
