are you 100% sure you are using the correct driver?

that board has both Intel raid and SilicionImage raid chips, the Silicon Image is 4 connectors , the Intel only 2.

most likely you are using the incorrect driver; try the silicon image one from this page http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/dr...es=1&model=130


try the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Driver or the SiliconImage one(s)

try the Intel RAID driver then, the disk you downloaded doesn't hold the drivers I think, it's only for config

from my link, download the " Intel Application Accelerator RAID Driver" , unzip the contents of the .zip to the root of a floppy and use it during the XP setup:)

hmm :/

try http://www.pcworld.no/index.cfm?fuse...DB5&download=1

jackpot!

you don't need to follow those instructions by the letter; you only need to download these files : ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-suppo...aar353_enu.exe

The first thing to do is obtain the driver files that we need. AFAIK Silicon Image doesn't provide generic drivers on their website; you have to go to the mfg of your particular board. I got mine from Abit here. There are a couple places to get the ICH5R drivers. You can get them out of the Intel Application Accel. package, the Intel "F6" diskette creation utility, or your OEM. Since we're trying to avoid using a floppy strike the diskette utility and let us use the IAA Package.

after you extracted the IAA package, place these files on a floppy:

iastor.sys
iaStor.cat
iastor.inf
txtsetup.oem

done.

Try nLite, it allows to integrate drivers in the setup (and change lots of other things).
Normaly it should work, but a while ago (v0.7x ? ) it caused loads of read/write errors during setup.

:super: great news :)

remember that RAID 1 only protects against HDD failure , not data corruption or software error. if your purpose is to just create a fail safe for your "my documents" folder, a simply copy/paste/replace script from C: to D: will work out more effectively
