Anyways, I Placed the Raid0 array i've created in the first position... started up with the bootable CD i made with your instructions(PS i added SP2 as one file named WIN51IP.SP2 to the folder containing the clean OS files, is this ok?) when asked to press F6, I did not. everthing was going fine, I made partitions in the Raid, then when at the step "installing Windows" after initializing, and during installing devices a Stop Error Screen appeared: semi verbatim: """"Prob detected and Win has been shut down to prevent damage. IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL if this is 1st time you've seen this stop error screen, restart, if this appears again, follow these steps: check that any new hardward(hw) or software(sw) is properly installed. if this is a new install, ask hw or sw manufacturer for any windows update you will need. if problem still exists: disable or remove any newly installed hardware or sw. disable BIOS memory options like caching or shadowing. If you need safemode to remove/disable components, restart, then F8 for Advance startup options, select safe mode tech info: ***Stop: 0x0000000A (0x00000010, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80523E78) Dumping physical memory Dumping complete.""""""""
