Hi,
My current OS is XP Pro. and I am using 2 WD SE 120GB HD with Raid 0. (2 partitions. both NTFS). I wanna install Windows 2K right now. However, after I boot up from CD-rom. and trying to install it. a msg says that it can not detect any HD on my computer. It happened to me with the XP installation. What I did was recreating Raid array, then using windows 98 Boot disk to create a FAT32 Partition and installing XP on it, In the XP, I just converted it to NTFS format. buh when I wanna reinstall the OS, I have to do those steps over and over again, I am really tired of it. I tried to Press F6 and install Raid driver first, but still the same thing. Can anyone help me out? or is there a better way to install an OS on a Raid drive?

you have to press f6 when prompted to install any third party drivers, insert your IDE raid driver floppy disk, and you will be set,
You will see this message as soon as the first blue screen appears...

I tried it already. It just couldn't find the HD. Is it because of that I converted mah Partition to NTFS?

Is there any way you accidently turned it off in the BIOS? If it's an onboard controller, and you weren't using it, you might have turned it off. Doesn't sound like you did, as it looks as if you're switching from XP to 2k. Did you recently clear your CMOS? Make sure both cable ends are plugged in properly and that if it's an add-on card that it's seated well.
