XP Pro installation problem

Trying to install XP Pro with SP1 on a system that installs Windows 2000 Pro
without a problem. XP setup stops with a message that it cannot detect hard
drives on the system. The two IDE hard drives are mirrored on a Promise
Ultra100 TX2 card. I have loaded every driver version for the Promise card
after pressing F6 and also loaded the native driver for the card provided by
XP setup. I've researched both Promise and Microsoft websites and the
Internet but have come up empty handed. Why would XP Pro setup not see the
same hard drive that Windows 2000 setup has no problem seeing?

Because the driver is not loading. You may try integrating not only SP2
into the installation CD, but the F6 driver you getfrom the Promise web site
as well.

Thanks for your reply.
How would I integrate SP2 and the F6 driver into the installation CD? Where
can I go to find out how to do it?
