P4P800-Deluxe with Raid 0 WD Raptor HDs

[JSC924]

I currently have 2 WD 36 GB Raptor HDs installed in a Raid 0 on my P4P800 Deluxe motherboard, but when i try to install WinXP Pro, the Raid 0 doesn't show up, even when i pressed F6 to load the raid drivers. Can anyone help?

What is the name of the drivers you are installing? As I recall, there are three Promise drivers on the Asus disc. Give us a list of everything in the Promise drivers directory and we'll see if we can help.

Better yet, do what I did. Use the make disc utility for each one, and try one after the other until it works

I'm using the WinXP promise drivers... but still get nothing when it's trying to detect the HDs for winxp installation

is the promise/sata bios enabled?
also there is an option once enabled to choose between raid and ide.
yes i know this is obvious and am sure you enabled it but it seems as if its not finding the drives so i thought id ask

You need to go to Intel website to download the iaa_ich5r file.
It unzips to a disk with the Correct SATA RAID Drivers..
THe onboard promise is only for PATA
