I'm trying to install Windows 2000 on a Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI
motherboard to a pair of ATA drives in RAID 0 but halfway through it keeps
saying it can't find the nvata.cat file. This file doesn't seem to exist
on the install disk or the driver disk so where the hell is it?
Has anyone successfully managed to get this working on this board?

That sounds like the driver for the chipset IDE (or SATA) disk controller.
You might need to install this driver from a floppy disk at the start of the
setup process (by pressing F6 as soon as the setup program starts loading).
If you are already doing that, there may be a problem with the configuration
of the driver disk and may need to get an updated one from Gigabyte.
