Re-read my posting. I ask why a RAID driver is being sought
(when there was no mention of a RAID system). I then imply
that there might be a mis-setting in the BIOS which erroneously
indicates that there is a RAID system.

"David B." jumped:
If he's gotten to the point of formatting the drive and copying files it's not
too likely that it's a driver problem, it's more likely either he has a bad CD
drive, bad CD, or a problem with the RAM or hard disk itself,
those are the common causes of file copy errors during setup.

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?

try every thing you said and made new driver disk still get the
same message. 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.
