XP Professional With Raid Hard Drives

[Guest]

Hi,

Well I completed my build and configured my RAID 1
(Mirroring) drives, Made a disk to help XP figure out the
RAID setup and started my install.
Remember this is a NEW system.
I booted with XP in CD Drive and pressed F6 when asked.
Then S for specify floppy, Inserted floppy, pressed Enter,
pressed Enter again to tell XP I had nothing else to
install with a supplied MFG Disk.
Then The Windows XP License Agreement came up on the
screen and I paged down to read it and pressed F8 to Agree

Nothing happens! It just sits there with agreement on the
screen... The system is not hung up... I let it sit a
while and then hit escape and reboot just to get the same
results.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Mother board is ASUS A8V Delux and the 2 RAID Drives are
Western Digital 36.7 gig @ 10,000 rpm

Thanks
Steve

You are either not paging all the way down, or
possibly using a wireless keyboard that Windows Setup does not
have native drivers for - if that is true, temporarily replace with a
normal cable connected keyboard, or the F8 is broken on the keyboard
or a special function lock key is depressed/needs depressed.

be sure that you don't have a keyboard like the Microsoft Multimedia keyboard that requires that you press F Lock + F6 for F6 to work
