So I have been running in RAID0 for quite some time, I decide to format today and I use the latest RAID drivers d/led from Abit for my AN7 mobo, XP setup loads fine , asks to plop in floppy after I press F6 and it says the drivers are wrong, ok so I go back to a set of drivers that I got from BA a while back ( which I tried first) I don't know which ones they are Silicone Image drivers though, they seem to load and work.
However, after it pre-loads drivers into ram when it's done it says that it cannot find any storage devices, I alwasy seem to have the most strangest of problems, so I discard the install and boot up and am now on the same computer RAID is running fine except when I try to format tehn it can't find a friggin thing !!!!!
I am using regular ole XP no SP's or nuttin.

i know what you're going thru i spent about 12 hours on this problem your drivers are prolly ok.
the same thing happened to me, i was trying to install xp form a CD-R copy of xp home, and a slipstream cd with the drivers on it, didnt work! i had to use the original xp home cd, but if you already are, thats not the problem.

make sure your bios is set right, hard disk boot priority = bootable add in device & OnChip ide device =
SATA mode = Raid set to enhanced mode. hang in there you'll get it sooner or later
