When I try to install windows it duse not see the hard drivers I have tryed every thing.

Description:
athlon 64 3800
asus a8v deluxe
2 x kingmax twin 1 gig ddr400
wd 200gig sata
wd 36gig raptor 1000rpm sata
asus a92oose
pci 1-0 4 serial
pioneer dvd burner

I have tryed downloading the latest raid drivers and when installing windows f6 for scsi and windows will still not see the hard drives. Bios can see them and sata is enabeled in bios.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG.

Which raid drivers are you using? Did you DL them from the ASUS site?

yes I got them for the asus sit and did exacly as it siad and still nothing

I asked which ones because there are two sets:

The VIA K8T800Pro chipset incorporated two Serial ATA connectors with RAID 0(striping), RAID 1(mirroring), and JBOD(spanning) functions while the Promise 20378 controller provides another two Serial ATA and two UltraATA133 connectors for RAID 0(striping), RAID 1(mirroring), RAID 0+1, and multiple RAID functions. The motherboard is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and security.

Sorry I have tryed the make floppy one sisraid.

I'm having problems connecting to the ASUS site. If this (http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket939/a8v-d/overview.htm) your board then you want the Via drivers.

I will have a look and give it a go and get back to you

I tryed four drivers and none of them worked VIARAID220d, Promise_64bit_100139, 378raid_1001377, and one that downloads as floppy.

Has this system ever ran?

Yes windows crashed and I could not start it even in safe mode so went to a fresh install of window xp pro and here I am.

Right. Which disk are you tying to install on?

the 36 gig one and use the other for storige.

the 36 gig one and use the other for storige.

I assume this is the one that had Windows on previously. I was wondering if you had the space (most likely :-) ) but do you have a partition or a program to make one that you could install Windows on and then use Disk Management to partition the smaller drive for Windows.
A thought.
