RAID setup in XP problem

Trying to set up the RAID on my new GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard. I have done
this before on my old motherboard, a Soyo.

What booting to the CDROM, Windows requests that I hit F6 to load any
special drivers. When requested by Windows, I put the floppy that contains
what I think are the correct files. I created the floppy following
directions from the manual.

From the WinXP folder I got:

iteraid.cab
iteraid.inf
iteraid.sys

From the root folder of the RAID drivers, I got:

txtsetup.oem

When I hit ENTER to load the drivers from the floppy & select WinXP from the
list (NT or 2000/XP) I get the following error message:

File\WIN2K_XP\iteraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at
line 2108 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

WTF!?
So I download off the Gigabyte site & yes, the iteraid.sys appears to be a
newer file, but I still get the same error!

Anyone see this before? Any ideas how to proceed?

TIA

Incorrect floppy file structure. The root directory should contain 2 files:
ITERAID and TXTSETUP.OEM. It should also have a directory WIN2K_XP
containing the following 4 files: ITERAID, ITERAID.CAT, ITERAID.SYS and
ITERAID.INF.

Too bad the manual couldn't include this info. The folder the manual
directs you to a folder that is over 7 meg. In that folder is the 1st 2
files, in the WinXP folder (that is in that same folder) is 3 of the 4 files
you listed. Turns out that I do need the newer ITERAID.SYS from the
Gigabyte site for my version of XP (includes SP1).

Thanks, WinXP loading as we speak. =)
