Hi all, I have just recently bought a new motherboard the foxconn p35ap-s and I have also bought 2 WD 500gb drives and I wanted to run these 2 in a raid 0 config but when I set this up in the bios raid utility, it seemed to work but when I put my windows CD in to start windows setup I just got a invalid disk message. Any help with this would be appreciated. This is my first time messing with RAID. Cheers.
 
think so

Hi yeah I think I have done that yeah but what is a ICH9R array. I can't seem to get windows setup started. Thanks.
 
no setup at all

Hi yeah am gettin no windows xp setup at all. There seems to be 2 raid controllers on this motherboard one is for sata and the other is for ide. When booting up both raid controller utilities pop up and you can enter them with a key press to setup a raid but after this with my xp cd in, i tried a vista disc 2 but that never worked either. I have setup the DVD/CD drive as first boot device and I set the raid 0 array as the first device in the hard disk boot priority. Thanks for your time and help.
