RE: [OT]XP Help

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How bloody weird! I couldn't get XP to install on a RAID array using either
my Highpoint or SIS RAID controllers and just gave up in the end and
dropped
back to using some old 6Gb HD's as boot drives.

Well, that's my theory fooked - anyone else got any ideas?
