Hi people, I've a dell M1730 with a raid0 disk drive(s) it came installed with vista. The problem i've got is the cad tool i use only runs under xp pro sp2 and if i try and install the xp cd it does not see the disk drives. someone on another forun sugested the nLite tool was the way forward but i'm more of an end user than a software guy so i'm a little wary of screwing up my pc! so if anyones go a idea where i should look please feel free to shout out! thanks carl
