I don't know what mobo you are using, but my copy of XP (2 years old) would not load to a Asus A7N8X without me putting the SATA drivers on a floppy and hitting F6 when prompted. Later versions of XP may have native support for SATA but mine doesn't and judging from post on this forum it is a real issue getting XP to load to SATA. Some have built a PC without a floppy only to have to go and get one in order to get XP loaded.

You say XP loads when not in RAID configuration. Does it boot up and is it usable?
