IBM xSeries 225.. 86473ax .. How to load raid drivers? (Tried to slips

[the]

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?

Please help

Thank YOU

!!
