Verify that you have an INF file on your raid drivers floppy.

Drivers are installed by INF's

I don't think you should search for a problem anywhere else.

Hmm last second thought if it is an INF problem why would it install from the floppy on the regular xp and not the slipstreamed one ?

Did i just fall back down the mountain :blushing:

What do you mean...

I suggest to go to your raid controller manufacturer and download the latest driver available. It should contain the files and the INF needed (copy these files on a floppy disk). You will be able to use the F6 to install you driver.

Or you could slipstreamed your raid drivers into your installation CD. There's a link to show you how to...

You might want to check out the Device Drivers forum. There is a sticky for unattended raid installation and some other threads relating to this topic. I'm sure someone there can lend you a hand as well.

Well I'm out of ideas. If it work with the original CD and not the slipstreamed it's maybe something about sp1a. Try with SP2.

Wait for other post maybe someone who had this problem in the past will be able to help you more.

Good luck
