Installing WinXp on 400SC with IDE Raid Controller (help)

Hi,

Has anybody been able to install WinXP Pro on a Poweredge 400SC that has the PERC/CERC 4 Channel IDE Raid Controller from Dell (I've got 2x80Gb mirrored/raid1)

No matter what I do, I get the BSOD during setup and error 0x0000007B which relates to not being able to talk with the drive controller. I've done F6 during the inital XP install and tried the lsilogic WinXp drivers for the Megaraid ATA/100 I4 card (which appears to match the card dell has, since they don't publish XP drivers) but that's not working.

I was able to install win98, but trying to upgrade had the same problem.

Any help/ideas is appreciated. I need XP since it's going to host some software in a Animal Hospital that requires it and want the Raid 1 for the redundancy (would suck if it went down)

thanks
Steve
 
Thanks for looking into this

Yes I'd looked through those FAQs and couldnt find anything specific to this.

Dell only has drivers for the ide raid card for 2000 (which didnt seem to work). I grabbed the XP drivers for this http://www.lsilogic.com/products/stor_prod/raid/i4.html

which seems to be the OEM brand (and the version # of the 2000 drivers happen to match the 2000 Dell Version number).

I put them on a floppy, hit F6 during the XP install and loaded these but it didnt work (same error during install)
