Bâshrat the Sneaky So your saying my settings should be okay and this should have worked for me? Maybe its the drivers causeing the problems. I am going to extract the drivers from the Nvidia nForce3 5.03 package at the MSI site. Just realized the drivers I were kind of dated. Think I am going to change the raid from 32k to 64k too. If this doesn't work its RMA time. Man I miss my NF7-S 2.0 anf my 2500+ at 2.3ghz!! BigA

First off, thanks for all the hard work. I have an MSI Neo2 Platinum, and I was getting a txtsetup.oem error when trying to load the drivers off the floppy during the xp install, so I tried to give your raid slipstream a try. I was able totally install xp, but when it restarted after the install, I got to the xp splash screen and it rebooted; this happens over and over. I am not sure if this is happening cause of the raid slipstream or sometihing totally different cause this board has been having so many other problems. Well anyway, here is how I setup the slipstream. The drivers I used are here at the bottom of the page. Was wondering if I missed something? First I added this to txtsetup.sif like you said. Next I added this to my winnt.sif file. Next I placed these files to C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\002_IDE From here I put all the other files into C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\001_Raid Next I used the command prompt for MAKECAB. Here is what I put. From here I just burned the CD. Like I said, everything worked fine until got to the xp splash screen and it rebooted. I was a little confused in this part of your explanation (here is where I thinkd I missed a step). This board has been a nightmare to me as it is having other problems like recognizing one of my cd burners and lags at the post screen. Probably going RMA it but I wanna check to see if I did this right. Thanks in advance BigA
