Re: xp setup does not see my raid protected sata drives

By installing the drivers using the F6 option in the installation of win
After the installation you then configure your raid.

doing a new install, windows xp pro w/service pack 2 ...

Have two sata drives connected to a promise fastrak tx2200 controller
card.

Was able to config mirrored protection in the fasttrak setup utility

Get an error on the windows xp setup step: No hard drives detected -
setup cannot continue.

The fasttrack tx2200 manual says "windows systems usually recognize the
FastTrak controller and will prompt for the driver CD. That is not the
case for me!

The message says no drives detected, setup cannot continue.

How can I get windows xp setup to detect my raid protected sata drives?

thanks,

-Steve
