 XP won't install...
Right, I have a Philips Freevents X67 1200 Series.
It came with Vista as standard. We're reinstalling it with XP, so in goes the XP CD to the drive, it loads, and then it tells me it cannot detect the drive.
So I check the BIOS, it detects it fine, but lists it as RAID: 8 Fujitsu MHV2100BH.
So basically it's a raid drive. XP can't detect it during installation, thus I need RAID drivers for the drive.
According to Fujitsu the drive is no longer supported and they have no drivers.
Interestingly enough, Vista has no problem picking up the drive, it shows up just as with anything else, but XP can't see it.
I can't find RAID drivers for Fujitsu MHV2100BH anywhere, I was thinking though - if Vista can pick it up, somewhere on the CD there must be a universal driver.... would it be possible to somehow obtain this, put it onto a floppy, then hit 'F6' during install to load RAID or SCSI drivers?
This is a real pain in the ass, any help at all would be greatly appreciated as always!
