XP will not install

Cannot get windows xp pro to do a clean install using raid setup. Have tried loading fail safe bios settings, optimized settings, still hangs at "loading windows setup". This is just before the format screen. The only way it will load is to load win 2000 and then do an upgrade. I press F6 when promted to load raid drivers but it never gets past the format step. I have 2 computers one with abit kg7 Raid and one with kt7a-raid. I cannot load xp on either from a clean install. Have flashed the bios on both. Still no luck. Has anyone had this trouble? It will install fine using one hard drive on the regular IDE channel. I
 
I tried to install at my friend computer, WindoZe XP and it hang, he doesn't have a raid setup, but..It was because he had a usb mouse plugged and he tried installing XP. Try putting your mouse if it's using a USB port on the PS/2 port.
Do the same with the keyboard, if you can.
