--> Using setup disks I ran the install process again and hit F2 to specify
a
custom RAID controller. I selected the FastTrack 100 driver from the list
the setup displayed. After prompting for the XP bro CD I get a "setup did
not find any hard disk drives installed in this computer".
Sorry for the confusion - i pressed F6 to specify a third party raid driver.
