I have 2 computers with ASUS P4800-E Deluxe and the problem appear in both
I made a RAID 1 with 2 HDD SATA (120 GB). When I boot from the CD with
Windows XP or 2003 ( I need to install 2003) I pressed F6 and added the Disk
created from de Asus CDRom with the drivers.
After that the installation continues but it not recognize any Disk and/or
partition and the installation abort asking me to press F3 to Exit.
The motherboard setup recognize the RAID 1 but it is imposible to install
any OS

Any suggestion ?

Please help me

Curious--did you first go into BIOS and set up the RAID before attempting to
load Windows and there would have been a point in the Windows setup where it
required depressing "S" to set up SCSI (where it would have used the
diskette that you mentioned for RAID and not SCSI even though it asked for
the SCSI diskette). I just set up a P4C800E-D and had no issues with the
install (except for some software conflicts later between Norton Antivirus
and the Audigy software)

After installing Windows with the SATA HDDs configured as RAID 1, did you go
back into the BIOS and reset the boot sequence so that the computer is
booting from the correct HDD instead of the CDROM? If the mobo is a
P4C800-E, are you only using the Intel chipset and have disabled the Promise
chipset (The Promise Chipset are PCI-based)? Silly questions, but trying to
narrow down the source of your problems.

Yes, I made the RAID 1 from the BIOS

Any suggestions ?
