Xp Mce

Hi, I am having a problem with my new build. I have built the whole PC and set the BIOS up, but when I get to installing XP MCE, it won't detect my hard drives.

WDC 160GB 16MB Cache
RAID0 Format

It detected them when not in a raid format, and my BIOS detects both of them.

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance

You will need to install the RAID drivers from a floppy during the portion of the install where it says "Press F6 to install third-party SCSI or RAID drivers".

I get as far as this sreen , but then my computer wants to reboot, and then it doesn't start again because as the "D-LED" bracket says, there is a problem with the memory!! ARGH! What should I do?

Now, I have completed setup, and I get to my desktop, but when I was installing some hardware for my wireless internet, is needed to restart, and when it shut down it didn't start again. It has done this everytime it shuts down, and then I just leave it unplugged for like 12 hours, and it starts. It is weird. I think there is a problem with the memory, but how do I test it? If my PC doesn't turn on I can't use Memtest.

Thanks
