How do I setup Highpoint Raid to Install windows98?

[CraZCaM]

Hey fellows, I'm having problems getting win98se to setup via HPT370 raid controller. I've got two Identical maxtor drive setup under stripe 0 in controller bios. The controller is ready, and I've already Fdisk and format the partitions. The problem is when I run setup to install 98, It gives me an error message (like it doesn't see what the HPT370 is. Never had this problem with the promise raid I have on the other PC. Please send a URL or some hints.

thx
peace CraZCaM

Thanks clarkmo for the linkage. The new drivers and other utils will come in handy as soon as I can crack into this piece of a machine.

I had no problem installing W2K on a raid O from abit. If you configured the raid and formatted the raid 0,then you should have no problem installing the OS. You will have problems if the CPU is out of spec(IE: overclocked) in a raid configuration. I put a 933 on a bx133 with raid and it failed every time. I changed cpu to an 850 @ 100mhz FSB and it runs flawless now.

I am now ready to build the 933 into a SA6R from abit. Pure Heaven!
