Raid config on 8IRXP (Gigabyte)

[ShiHao]

Has anyone setup RAID 0 on this motherboard? I had the BIOS recognize both identical Quantum drives. I only had a CDROM installed to the regular IDE channels to boot the installation CD for Win XP. How do I initialize the partition for the RAID array to install my OS?
Problem being I don't have a HD on the regular IDE channels.

Thanks,

Shihao

1st copy the raid drivers off the Gigabyte installation CD to a floppy disk.
Start the XP installation and when you see the message about needing additional drivers push F8 I believe. Make sure the floppy disk is in Drive A and Setup will copy the files off the disk onto the HD so that it can continue with the installation...
