Installing Windows XP on Raid 0 drives (HPT372)

[SpaceRanger]

I'm trying to do a clean install on 2 x 80GB drives attached to my HPT372 (BIOS v2.32) onboard RAID controller (Motherboard is Epox 4PEA+).

There are no other HD's in the system at this point (I will attach the regular IDE drives once I get the installation complete).

I have the RAID 0 configured using the BIOS. I have downloaded the v2.32 drivers from Highpoint-tech.com .

I pressed F6 immediately after the boot of the Windows XP CD, and installed the drivers off a floppy.

The setup completes, and then the machine reboots. When the system is trying to boot up for the first time, I am getting a STOP: 0x0000007B immediately after the Windows XP splash screen.

I cannot upgrade the bios/drivers for the mobo (the latest bios for the 4PEA+ only contains v2.32).

Any suggestions on how I can get this setup working?

Thank you,

SpaceRanger

I tried most of those MS documents already. Sorry for not adding that in my first post.

Good News though. It seems that when I use the v2.34 drivers with my v2.32 BIOS, it installed just fine.

Thank you for all your help,
