WinXP Home not recognizing RAID during installation of Win.

[Julien]

Whenever I try installing Windows XP Home edition, I hit
f6 for 3rd party SCSI or RAID, etc. After doing so, I get
through all the normal steps. I hit S to intall the RAID
and I then select "HighPoint HPT3xx ATA RAID Controller
(WinXP)" from the list that it gives of three different
OS's. What I'm using for a RAID card is RocketRaid 133, a
dual channel IDE ata133 RAID adapter. So I select WinXP
and It asks me whether I want to use the driver off a
floppy or the WinXP one. I've tried both wwith no
success. After I select one, it asks me if i want to
specify any additional things like RAID or SCSI. I dont
so I hit enter to continue. Aftter that it starts loading
like normal to start the installation of WindowsXP Home.
After it gets to that last load it goes to the setup
where it asks me to hit enter to set up windows xp,
repair it, or quit. I hit enter and it says it didnt find
any hard disks installed on my comp even though I have
two HD's connected to the adapter!
I want to install with my RAID setup but I get this
screen every damn time! How cn I do this?

Why are you selecting Highpoint drivers for your RocketRaid card?
Shouldn't you be selecting drivers for your RocketRaid card?
Just point the install process to your a: or CD: drive where the .inf
file resides.
