Thanks for replying. XP doesn't see the drive but using F6 with the driver on the external floppy works. I have a nLite version of XP with the driver integrated but it still doesn't find it. Inside the BIOS, I have tried both the default JBOD and Raid but ended up with the same result.

I have a Toshiba Tecra S3 and recently upgraded the hdd to a seagate 120gb. After a long and arduous search for the correct raid driver, I finally found it. I have to use F6 while setting up XP. Since my laptop doesn't come with a built-in floppy, I got a USB that worked fine until I was in the setup process. It kept on asking for the raid driver every single time so since it can't see my USB floppy, I get stuck. I tried to integrate the raid driver with XP using nLite but it doesn't see or load the driver. I don't get far because just in the initial process of the setup, it cannot find my new hdd. I think this means that the raid driver is not loading. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
