To start off this could all be a result of me trying to wipe my hdd. I started off a new computer with 2 320gb segate sata drives in raid1. One failed shortly after my computer was up and running so I took it out and sent it in to get replaced. While it was gone I decided to wipe the other so I could repartition it. Well, it wouldn't wipe properly, so i ended up just wiping the first 63 sectors, the boot sector.
Now onto my problem now. I have my re-certified hdd back now and am trying to install xp. When I try to push F8 to load the raid drivers, nothing happens. I have tried keyboards with f-lock and without, three different cd's of xp, and still nothing happens. I finally got fed up and said f it and continued without that. Well once everything is loaded and the installation tries to start xp says it cannon recognize my hdd. I load the raid drivers then and continue. Everything seems ok and my computer loads. I have it running for one day transferring files. I then try to install something and then restart and everytime it locks up on the xp splash about 3-5 sec in. I tried doing my wrong method a few more times but it just keeps happening. I need help, I have no idea what I did and need my computer up and running already, it has been down for too long already.
system specs not in sig:
e6750 is oc'd to 3.6 ghz
corsair 620hx psu
40gb ide drive attatched temporarily to transfer files (have tried with and without)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
