Hey everyone. I'm new to this board and I've read quite a lot of thread trying to install SATA RAID drivers by slipstreaming it on the XP installation CD. OKAY, here is the problem. I followed the directions on pcstats.com and finally managed to slipstream the drivers and burn the installation CD. Now I can breeze through first part of the installation where the drivers are copied onto the HD. After reboot, I see the Windows XP slpash for a second and then *BAM* blue error screen. After reading a more threads on this error phenomenon I came to the conclusion that the error is occuring because of my HD. But I could be wrong. It could be my mobo. That's where you guys come in. Here are my specs: ECS P4M900T-M V1.0 mobo Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2 WD Caviar SE 120Gig SATA HD 2x1Gig OCZ Dual Channel DDR2 PC2 5400 SDRAM SAPPHIRE Radeon X1550 Video Card I tried flashing my bios with the latest one from the ECS website. I also slipstreamed the lasted via sata raid controller driver v. 5.50b from VIAarena.COM (Also note: Under v 5.40a in the ECS website it says "1.5v": What could this mean? 1.5 volt?) I tried taking out one RAM. Didn't work. I know the HDs aren't bad because when set to IDE I can install windows without problems. Anyone have any clue on what the problem is? I think it might be the cheap mobo.
