Installing windows with RAID GeForce6100SM-M
Hi,
Im trying to install Windows XP SP3 on a GeForce 6100SM-M Motherboard on 2 Hds using RAID (Strip).
I configured the raid utility by pressing F10 and added both of my Maxtor Hds to the Raid Strip.
I checked the boot property and cleared data all on the raid utility.
The problem is, when windows instalation starts, it doesnt detect a HD.
I tried downloading the raid/sata driver from ECSs website, but it comes with 2 folders, disk1 and disk2.
I succesfully loaded disk1 on a floppy and pressed F6 and succesfully loaded the both drivers it contained, but windows never asked for disk2. I tried adding more controler by pressing "E" and inserting the second floppy but windows said no txtsetup.oem was found.
I even copied the txtsetup from disk1 to disk2 but still no luck getting windows to recognize the HD.
PLEASE HELP URGENT!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip DivingDemon, I will try other IDE Cdroms first, since its faster, and as a Plan B I will try installing withouth RAID in bios, but using the raid drivers (F6). Thanks.
If anyone can comeup with an easier way or fix Im still waiting and dreaming here.
THanks again

Im hoping someone will say: Hey I had this problem, all you have to do is rename a file on the floppy or use this other driver. ..
