Having trouble using my SATA drives.
I just got my 2 120GB SATA drives, installed them in my computer, set them up as a RAID 0 Volume.
Now when I run Windows XP setup, it tells me that it can't detect any hard drives installed on the computer.
Any ideas?

xp can boot to a RAID 0... but it sounds like he's already got that on a seperate drive and this is "in addition to".
Am I right?
Do you have this on a seperate SATA controler card or is it built into the MOBO?

built into the Motherboard (Asus P4P800 w/ Intel 865PE chipset). And I don't have another drive installed, I'm trying to use these as my only hard drives.

oh you mean the SETUP of win xp?
you have to hit like F2 or F6 right when the setup blue screen (heh, how ironc) comes up and put in the flooppy disk for the drivers for the SATA. XP doesn't nativly know any SATA I think.
If the "XP" drivers don't work... try the 2000. That's what I did... worked fine.

Ok...I think I got it. my mobo didn't come with a floppy, just a CD. So you have to have a computer that's already working and transfer the files from CD to floppy.
Hopefully, this will work.

go to the website of the mobo manufacturer. d/l the raid drivers, it should install on a floppy disk.
press f6 during the xp install....keep ur eyes on the screen to see it
