I rebuilt a computer with 2 hard drives. I created a
raid 0 configuration. Post was ok, yet when I attempt to
boot xp, it says it cannot find a hard drive. What can I
do to make xp see the hard drives?
Not quite sure what you mean here, but if you mean that when you attempt to
INSTALL Windows XP it gives the " cannot find hard drive" message during the
blue screen phase of setup, then the solution is (probably) quite simple.
Windows XP setup only supports a limited number of mass storage
controllers - IDE/ATA, and a selection of SCSI controllers. Therefore, you
need to supply a miniport driver for your RAID controller. Normally this is
supplied on a floppy disk with the RAID controller or motherboard. To get
Windows to use this driver, press F6 as soon as setup goes to the blue
screen phase - you should see a message on the white bar at the bottom of
the screen along the lines of "Press F6 to specify additional mass storage
controllers". After a while, you'll then be prompted to insert the disk
containing the driver.
I hope this helps..
