Hello
I have a dell precision 670-scsci(adaptec logic controllers) dual drive(raid controller-0 and 1 loaded with xp sp2 pro and then i downloaded the sp3, due to some other reasons i wants to re format the windows when i tried first from the boot from cd i got the message that the version u have is higher than u are installing so u can not install.
then i tried to remove the sp3 from add/remove programms and while the process is going on then i got the message at the end that no file was found.
so i boot in to the original what i already working and then i put the xp cd and tried to re format then when the setup asked me whether to repair/reinstall i said once repair and the other time re instal but both the times i got the message setup can not detect any hard drives on your computer
but simaltaneously when i re boot i can see my dual hard drives with raid array,
so i wanted to know if i would like to reformat the computer then whether have i to remove the arry by going in to the scsi raid controller settings and then to create a new array.
this is really confusing me as if i dont know and i delete then i may loose what i am already using.
so i request you friends to look into this problem and help me to re install
please give details step by step so that i can follow them as it is.
thanks alot
