I'm not sure if this belongs here or in Technical Support..if this is the wrong forum please move it.
Recently I got a new hard drive, so I decided to reconfigure stuff in my computer and install windows on a raid 0 array. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work no matter what I try. I've tried installing on both x32 and x64 editions of winxp.
Problems:
x32: it goes through the normal install and the gui install, but upon reboot after this always resets at mup.sys
x64: same thing, but reboots at acpitabl.dat instead
Apparently the x64 issue has to do with windows overriding the nvidia raid drivers that I load from a floppy in the first setup screen. This can supposedly be circumvented by making a cd of windows with the drivers slipstreamed in..I tried this but it did not work.
I have no idea why it reboots after the normal install of xp.
I should mention that I have a MSI K8N-F motherboard (nforce 4 chipset) with the latest bios version and the raid is on two older seagate PATA hard drives. I have also been using the latest nvidia raid drivers copied onto floppy disks. I have also run chkdsk /p through the repair console..it did find errors but those should be fixed, yes? All other hard drive scans I do tell me they are working fine. Both my windows disks have the latest service packs and I've also tried monkeying with usb devices/controllers and the acpi settings in my bios.
So what can I do? I've literally been trying to get through this for a week, with no luck.
