View Full Version : Installing XP Home- drivers will not load

I am attempting to install XP Home (read, reinstall). I have formatted the
hard drives (2), run scandisk and boot the XP CD. It asks me to push the
F6 key for my RAID drivers. I do so and nothing happens. I attempted this
several times to no avail. The keyboard works as you must "press any key"
to start the CD rom load.
When I get to the end of the CD load, I then get into the area of setup
which asks for support for any mass storage device I may have as "none" was
found. (If I press enter it finishes the run on setup and "starts Windows",
but now says that I have no hard drives (I am running twin WD 40 Gig on RAID
0)
Press S to supply support disk. I press S and the A drive attempts to
read the disk. Now I get an error " File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected
error (512) at line 1742 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.c"
letter to letter note the oemdisk.c.c ending).

Any ideas? This system ran with all of these supplied disks before. The
clean install has occurred and yet XP will not load.
