Wow, might try slipstreaming a XP SP2 install disk, and fresh install. That would give you the F6 option to install RAID drivers.

Im having the same problem when loading XP pro. No problems with WIN 2K. Mine stops at the same screen yours does. I am using a single drive and still can get mine to go past the black sreen. Have figured out what the problem is?

I have no idea. I have the same lockup that you described, but it doesnt seem to matter if I go with single or multiple drives. I can't get XP Pro or Home to go past the XP screen. Have you updated your BIOS lately?

What raid controller are you using? Most raid controllers are software based and have a separate driver for raid and single disk mode so there is a good chance sp2 is just conflicting with the raid driver for your controller.
I have 2 wd raptors in raid 0 on a sil3112 onboard raid controller and it runs fine in winxp pro sp2.
