Y2K O/S will not recognize my hard drives- what's up?

When I put in the CD-ROM and it tries to install to my computer it states that I don't have any hard drives available to install. One catch I am using an Array (RAID 0)with my Asus A7V133 mobo- the array shows up just fine so I am confused.

Thanks

sounds like a FAT problem to me. If you dont have partitions created and set to fat32 or NTFS, windows will not recognize them. They dont have to be formatted, just as long as they are there, and set. Try bypassing the RAID, or possibly putting the drive on another computer, run fdisk off of a bootdisk, and create and set the type of partition. That way, if the bios detects the drives, (which it sounds like it does) windows will see one of its own partions and recognize the drive, at which point it should format and install.
 
I think I read somewhere that you have to install win2k on a regular IDE
channel first then you can set up an array.
