XP OEM version; tried another data CD; wanted to see if I can access DVD writer drive. same error abort, fail.. retry. Tried hooking to IDE 1 and then IDE 2 same problem.
DVD Drive is good tried it on HP build system. b: (abort fail retry...) c: invalid drive d: ... .... I was hoping also to see the Maxtor drive (BIOS RAID configure; I assume when you clear the HDD will format also. |

You need 2 identical HDs to set up a RAID 0.

Single hard drive? Set SATA as IDE, not RAID. Boot with the XP CD, not a floppy.
