Trying ti install XP on new SATA mirror setup

D

Dave G

I have installed 2 WD120Gb SATA drives in my PC and gone through the setup
process configuring them as a 120Gb mirrored array. I have copied the
Promise XP 376 drivers to a floppy disk. When I boot from my Win XP Pro CD
I press F6 to let setup know that I want to load specific drivers. At the
appropriate time in the boot process I press "S" and it asks me to insert a
floppy disk with the drivers. I do this and press enter and within a second
or 2 I get the following message:
"file \winxp\fasttx2k.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in
d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c", "Press any key to continue". When I
press enter it goes back and asks me to insert a floppy disk with the
drivers. How do I locate error 18? Anyone know what might be happening
here?

Did you have a file called 'TxtSetup.oem' on your floppy disk?

Setup will look for that file to install the mirror array
