OK, I will say it...I am a Noob when it comes to nliteos. Here's the sad story. I have an Alienware Area 51 desktop. It came with Windows XP Media Center OS. I attempted to upgrade to Windows 7 and that's when everything went south. I had a Sata RAID 0 installation (2 disks) and a data disk, my drive D. Somehow the installation put Windows 7 on my Data (D) drive and reversed my drive letters. So, whenever I booted up I had to select between Windows 7 and "an earlier" windows although I had deleted the Windows.old folder. Finally I am getting to my problem. Finding that situation to be annoying and not wanting what appeared to be a dual boot situation, I reformatted my C drive with the thought I would just add Windows XP from the Alienware MCE recovery disk. It wouldn't work. When I tried to install, the installation couldn't find my Raid drives. I called Alienware and they would not help me reinstall the OS that came on the system (still in warranty). They told me I would have to download the RAID drivers from their website (I did) and go to nliteos.com and prepare a boot disk that would load the RAID drivers first and then I could reinstall the XP MCE OS. Well, I read everything I could on the web site and can not figure out how to prepare a boot disk with the RAID drivers on it. That's where I need some "hand holding". I simply can't follow the directions as a Noob. I downloaded the SATA RAID driver v9.31 WHQL. This was the driver my system required so I have it now. Would someone please help me prepare a boot disk given the info above? After I reinstall XP then I will upgrade to Win 7 but this time I will disconnect my D drive!
