The raid driver setup disk was provided either with the computer (if the
raid controller is on the motherboard) or by the raid card manufacture (if
it is a plug in controller). Either way, if you don't have a driver floppy
disk, you will have to go to the manufacturer's web site to download the
drivers for your particular controller. When you have the drivers on the
floppy disk, boot your computer with the Windows XP CD and look at the
bottom of the screen. It will ask you to press F6 if you need to install a
SCSI controller, etc. Press F6 when it tells you to and put the floppy in
the floppy drive to copy the drivers. Once that is done the installation
should proceed normally.
