I recently bought a used raid card to run a dual boot system XP/Mandrake.

I am trying to get the Array up and running and I cannot install XP to the array.

The card is a FASTRAK33 and I have two WD0200 (20GB) drives on it.

During the install I hit f6 and load the drivers but when it comes to selecting the drive it shows two 20GB drives.

I have tried formatting both and I get the same error.

ANY ideas?

The are NO DRIVERS listed on the Promise web site.

I am going to bed as this has kicked my ass all night.

This might be a silly question, but did you go into the BIOS of the Raid card and set up your stripe or mirror?

YEah I set it uyp as a stripe.

I have oone of the drives set as the master and the other set to slave with them both in IDE 1.

Could that be the problem?
