Problem installing windows xp onto raptor

[yagamic]

I'd just bought a used 73 Raptor from a user in this forum, I had 2x80gb SATA RAID0 as my main windows drive before. Now I want to install a fresh O/S on my raptor, and use the RAID0 drives for gaming.
When I was tring to install windows xp onto the raptor, it had no problem formatting, but when my computer restarts after copying all the window files, it stops at dos w/ an error message of "error loading O/S"

Anyone has any idea what went wrong? Do I need to change the drive sequence in BIOS?

My hardware profile:
AMD64 3800+
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
2x1gb OCZ DDR400
2xEVGA 6600GT
Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro
WD 73gd Raptor in a Vantec HD Removable Rack
2x80 SATA RAID0
XEON 600watt PSU
Sony DVD
DigitalMax DVD-R

you need to change the boot order of your hard drives in the bios.
typically "error loading OS" means that the bios is telling it to use a different hard drive for the main hard drive.

There should be a setting that says Hard drive boot priority or hard drives or hard drive priority

just make the raptor the first one in the list.

Going to try that real quick,
thanks for the response..

1 quick Q,
does changing the hd booting sequence change the drive letter as well??

No it doesn't.

Windows writes a disk signature on the physical device, so even if you move the disk around cable wise even, it shouldn't change the Drive letter.
