Can you give us a clue as to why a Via RAID driver is being sought?
Do you have a RAID system? If not, perhaps the BIOS has accidentally
been set for RAID. Is there an entry for RAID/NoRAID in the BIOS?
If that has been set for RAID, the next question is how? Have you
tried cleaning or replacing the lithium battery?

Setup cannot copy the file viamraid.sys after the format screen is complete
and it is making a list of files to copy. this is the first file it looks
for.

Try this: When you get to the partition screen (i.e. when loading
from the floppy drive halts), take out the floppy disk. The system
will then look to the CD drive for data. And when you get the system
installed, the next time you start up, go into the BIOS and reset the
BIOS's device boot order so that the hard drive has highest priority
and the BIOS won't go reading a floppy disk or CD that you might have
left in the drive.

I am trying to install xp pro on a 160 gig sata drive. the mobo is a MSI
and during boot the drive is reconized. During xp set up I press F6 and
when
prompted to I insert floppy disk, showes me the right drivers and I select
the on via for xp. It reads the disk and continues loading files. I get
the
partition screen and partition the drive and it formats the drive just
fine.
It then prompts me that it is making a list of files to be copied and the
first file it asked for is the viamraid.sys. It comes back and tells me it
can not copy the file and ask me if I am copying from the cd make sure the
windows xp cd is in the drive. I tell it to retry and It looks at the
floppy
but it can not copy from the disk. I have moved the sys file to the root
of
the disk but to no avail. What am I doing wrong. I have had the same
problem on another machine also.
