I have a PC with a 10,000 RPM WD Raptor as my boot HDD, running Win XP Pro SP3, and a ~1 TB (3 x 500 GB Seagate HDD) RAID 5 array for data. Ran out of space on Raptor for OS and applications, so I decided to move OS and Apps to a NEW RAID 0 array, using 2 WD 500 GB Caviar Black HDD.
I am using Biostar GF8100 M2+ SE MoBo, with AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000 Brisbane CPU, 2 x 2Gb OCX DDR 800 RAM (ran mem test 86+, 7 passes no errors)
I flashed the BIOS, then reset it to RAID.
I installed the RAID 0 HDD on SATA controllers 1 & 2.
I disconnecte the Raptor and RAID 5 array, to do a Win XP Pro install on the new RAID 0 array. Booted from XP disk, XP loaded files, I hit F6 to load RAID drivers from floppy, after drivers loaded XP begins setup, then "Blue Screen" STOP error prior to HDD (RAID 0) Format & partioning.
Can someone please give me some info that may help me through this. The only thing I have yet to try that I can think of is to find or make a copy of XP with SP 2 or 3 on it, to see if the drivers are different and will get me passed this point.
