Help Promethus Get His RAID Drives To Work Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I am building a new Puter and I cannot get the RAID drives up and running.

I keep receiving an Error 18 at line 2108 when I try ti install the RAID drivers from floppy using the WinXP setup floppies.

I have a ASUS A7V8X MoBo with SATA ports connected to 2 Maxtor ATA 133 drives at 7200 RPM with 8 MB cash.

The drives are connected via HighPoint RocketHead 100 SATA to EIDE adaptors.

The BIOS has no trouble configuring or "seeing" the drive array.

What gives>

Try downloading the drivers from the website you may need to get the latest or maybe the file is bad.

Test the drives on your regular IDE controller. See if they work. If they do, test just one with the RAID controller.

This does not appear ro be a hardware issue, what I cannot do is load the drivers for the RAID controller so I can install an OS (i.e. WinXP).

Try the hardware first.

You might have a faulty RAID controller that could cause WinXP to go batty even more.

Though it does look like the program itself is messing up, try hardware first and then at the very least you can rule it out, and eliminate that factor from troubleshooting.

It's the cable!

Quite amazingly, faulty cables cause a significant number of computer troubles, even though it does not look like it this time.

It's not the cable's (there are 2 one for each SATA drive. And they are new and came with the MoBo. The SATA BIOS "See's" the drives and has properly configured them.

I don't think they have tested individual cables before bundling them. Altough BIOS can see the drives, so it's not likely to be faulty cables.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I Got It To Work! Found a friendly folks @ http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/4170/

Computers - You got to talk there language, it's the only one they know.

But now WinXP says I can only format the drives using NTFS and one of the posts said that the Promise RAID drives for Win 2000 will only work with NTFS, anyone know if this is true fow WinXP also?
