My Asus A7V133 mb. with onboard raid shows my striped
array on post and in xp explorer it shows a drive that is
correct in size. When booting from the xp disk to set up
my pc it doesn't find them nor will xp format the array
which shows up in explorer. I have downloaded all xp
upgrades and the drivers from Asus (which is not
signed). Can some one help me?

you can't install XP on RAID or STRIPED Volumes (Hard
Drives, try using a "Basic" Partition

Something must be wrong with my XP then because I have a
striped RAID array on three spanned drives.
