As I was trying to find some answers, I can across this issue in my search. It is very close to my issue with couple exception. I don't care which O/S I use, but it will be XP or 2003. Getting the system to reconize any hard drive is crazy at this point. It sees the ATA hdd in the bios (which I did redo cmos), but not the SCSI. I have tried as was done by the other person and still my results are basically the same. When I try to do an O/S install..."NO HDD" is found. So who ever helped him, will you please help me...hbs I'm trying to get XP PRO installed (as opposed to server 2003) I slipstreamed in the drivers "IBM ServeRAID driver v7.10 for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP" from http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/sup...x=Y&psid=bm And it isn't picking them up/loading them . . When I extract the .exe the driver comes in there are three folders.. winnt win2003 and I think 2003 something else I slipstreamed all three in when I was creating the XP Pro disk using Nlite.. What am I doing all wrong? I've never used raid before.. When the thing boots there is an LSI config.. CTRL+C.. I went in there and told it NO on both drives for mirrored pair.. The bios doesn't see these at all There are two 36gb SCSI drives.. Can I use raid through XP to split the drives? Or do they have to be mirrored? Do I have to use raid?
