Win XP Setup does not find RAID 0 discs on ASUS A8N (non deluxe!)
Hi,
I want to install Win XP on a new computer. I have two SATA discs connected to port 1 +2. I want to set up a RAID 0 on these discs. I did everything like writen in the manual (at least I think I did). This means: BIOS: enabled Raid; both discs enabled in the RAID menue RAID utillity (entered via F8 while booting): setting up a RAID array with the following parameters: spanning; optimal; selecetd both discs; set array to boot; leaving via ctrl-X XP setup: booting from the cd; installing both of the nvidea RAID drivers from a floppy disc made by the "make disc programm" on the ASUS driver cd; continue of the setup programm; when setup menue asks for it I press the key for installing: ON THE NEXT SCREEN SETUP TELLS ME THAT THERE WAS NO HARD DISC FOUND ON WHICH THE OS COULD BE INSTALLED AND THEREFORE THE SETUP TERMINATES. I did this step many times using different version of BIOS, restricting the number of cards to the GPU and the Audigy 2 ZS (I had a SCSI cotroller in the computer when I tried it first time): nothing helps. The ASUS-support does not answer (I am not used to that). Does anyone have the same situation? Am I doing anything wrong? Is it right to install the two SATA discs with the nvidea-drivers, or does the board have two Raid-controllers and I am using the drivers of the wrong one? Please HELP! Thank you!

Hi,
thank you for your help, but I allready used this version of the driver (you cannot find it on the homepage because you have to download the chipset driver and extract the file. inside you will find the drivers).

F8???
Mine said F6.... and it worked fine once I did that.

Hi,
F8 is for entering the RAID-Setup in the BIOS (where you build the RAID-set). F6 is for telling the Win XP- setup that you want to give it an additional driver (at least it is so in the german version).
