New guy here, first post ever, so be gentle and use lots of lube.
I just recently purchased a new compie. I've got 4x500gb seagate drives and I have configed as a RAID5. I am trying to install xp from an xp boot disc and am running into all sorts of problems. I don't have a floppy on my laptop, so I can't create a driver fdd for my asus motherboard (the southbridge-ICH9R-supports RAID5). Any ideas as to how I can circumvent this dilemma?
every time I boot from disc, after windows setup starts running the driver loading ticker across the bottom, I get an error message that says
"mountmgr.sys is corrupted. press any key to continue"
and then it tells me to press any key to restart. every time.
this is my first time ever building a compie from scratch, so I'm quasi-clueless on the process for blank HDD/new install.
any help would be appreciated.
