I have an Asus A7V133 motherboard which I am trying to setup Raid0 and install XP I have the following parameters:
A7V133 Rev 1.04. Bios 1.09
Onboard Promise Chip PDC20265R Fastrak 1.31 build 22
2000MHz+ Athlon XP
500Mb Ram
2 off 80Gb WD 8mb buffer IDE HDD's
Latest XP motherboard drivers
Raid disk partitioned 20Gb/140GB Fat32 (desktop)-functional
Both Win98 (loaded on 3rd removable HDD ide66) and Dos see my raid partitions and function correctly. XP when loading and installing requested manufacturers Raid driver disk refuses to recognise raid partitions. I installed XP on removable HDD IDE66 and XP refuses to load Raid drivers manually, question mark present on Raid device in system tree.
I believe that Asus had upgraded the promise chip to support raid 0 & 1, mine only supports Raid 0, is my revision to early to support raid with XP? Is it possible to use my onboard raid chip with XP?
