Hey guys,

Ive been trying to RAID0 two 80Gb Hitachi's for a long time now with no luck on my MSi 975X. So basically all Im asking for is exact word for word instructions on how to do it.

Basically what ive done is downloadthe intel drivers, put them on the floppy, set the BIOS up for RAID, Held CTRL + I to get the menu up and raid 0 the two drives, I press F6 during install and I load the driver, it then finds the drive and it copies the files from the cd, the pc then reboots and says it cant find the drive so whats going on?

Thanks for any help,

I take the floppy out

and yes RAID is all setup in the BIOS also. Im just trying to install the driver first before setting up raid, see ifthat works

I need help fast though

I guess im confusing people, I dont think its anything to do with the floppy disk because I take it out when it tells me to. It starts going wrong once its copied the files from the cd, it reboots and it should begin installing xp where I fill in my cd key etc. but instead it says it cant find the boot drive. Someone refered to what does "it" mean, I meant the windows xp install.

Hope this helps, I really want to get these drives in raid0 but I dont see whats the problem?

Its already set to that

First it checks floppy, then cd rom, then hard drive last

Although you speak common sense where clearly this computer does not

There isnt a choice in the different pieces of hardware to choose anything to do with raid, but Im not even getting to that stage now as Im getting a BSOD once ive loaded the drivers from the floppy now from following your instructions

Also, when I force it to boot from the Intel Volume with F11, it just sits there
