XP Professional and Raid Hard Drives

[sjm1027]

Hi,

I had to post this in 2 places because i am not sure it is an XP question or HD Question. Hope that is OK.

Well I completed my build and configured my RAID 1 (Mirroring) drives, Made a disk to help XP figure out the RAID setup and started my install.
Remember this is a NEW system.
I booted with XP in CD Drive and pressed F6 when asked.
Then S for specify floppy, Inserted floppy, pressed Enter, pressed Enter again to tell XP I had nothing else to install with a supplied MFG Disk.
Then The Windows XP License Agreement came up on the screen and I paged down to read it and pressed F8 to Agree

Nothing happens! It just sits there with agreement on the screen... The system is not hung up... I let it sit a while and then hit escape and reboot just to get the same results.

Can anyone help with this problem? Could it be I need to get a FDISK Utility? I saw something about that but since the system is new how would I run RAID FDISK?


Mother board is ASUS A8V Delux and the 2 RAID Drives are Western Digital 36.7 gig @ 10,000 rpm

Thanks
Steve

You only need to make one post. It makes things less confusing. Not to worry; if it is in the wrong forum, it will be moved to the appropriate one.
