After spending all my life savings on a new PC. Typically im having problems setting it up. Now i have a Nforce 4 SLI chipset and 2 sata 74 gig Raptors. Im setting up a Raid0 array and during the windows XP installation it only sees it as 2 74 gig drives and not the 1 big array i created in the controller menu??

now ive tried instalting the os on one of these drives and it works, files copy to the drive but when it reboots i get ntldr missing ? ? nightmare.

Now there is another controller on the mobo (Sil3114) but when i set the array up on that the screen freezes during copying the xp installation files to the hd's

Please anyhelp would be much appreciated as im close to crying for my mum

AMD FX55
2 GB Corsair XMS3200AL Pro Twin
