Ok guys im am so frustrated with either my raptors or my Ic7-G thats causing me to have to reinstall Winxp. Well it could also be my *legit* Winxp but i doubt it. It installs fine on a regular ide HD.
Twice i had some files missing from Windows and tells me to reinstall that file for it to work.
Then there was formatting gone wrong where it was in the stage of WINXP formatting the partition and zips from 0% to 100% in like 6 secs. And says the disk may be damaged.
So now i have a very negative impression of WD and Abit. I RMAed one of the raptors already and it seemed to solve the disk may be damaged problem.
Im lucky that Essencompu.com is a few hours away from my house so i could go to the store and RMA there. They were pretty fast in RMAing stuff. I hope the new RMa board is a better revision and i wont have any of these crappy SATA raid problems.
If the new one doesnt work, i might have to go with a P4C800-E or a Epox 4Pca3+
