Hey all...

Just put a new PC together for work & needs to have a raid0 array setup as the main HDD...

Spec:
E4500
Asus P5E-V (G35 onboard vga)
2gb OCZ Value
Coolermaster PSU
2x 250GB Seagate Barracuda 16mb 7200.10
Win XP Pro (OEM)

I have enabled Raid in bios and have also CTRL+I to setup what raid config I want (set to 0)

When installing windows I have hit F6 to install the raid drivers (no bloody floppy with a £100 mobo is a disgrace btw) I downloaded a file for the floppy RAID from Asus...

When I try to install the drivers I just get the following message:
iaStor.sys caused an unexpected error (527) at line 2113 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

Any ideas??? :(

A raid floppy disk when installing xp is essential. I believe however with vista, this is depreciated now, as you can load drivers from a CD.
 
My Intel ICH9 controller was detected by Vista and didn't require me to install drivers for it, however you can use a USB flash memory stick to install the driver if it doesn't!
 
Yes, the Raid floppy isnt required when installing Vista, but a raid floppy is essential when installing XP... & there is no excuse for them not to include one for the sake of an extra 50p

IME all motherboards with onboard raid controller come with a floppy raid driver disk!... Obviously that is with the exception of Asus :mad:
