Crosshair extreme on Raid 0 help

[sylmarils]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Win XP Pro on a Raid 0 and i use a USB stick to load the drivers i keep getting the error: Insert disk labeled AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller Driver Diskette after the RAID 0 is recognized,partitioned and formatted. The BIOS has been configured (latest rev) in USB configuration mode to run on 'Force FDD'. The error message appears just before the files would start to be copied onto the HDD (i.e. RAID).Tried formatting the USB stick as a 1.44 floppy and copy the drivers onto it and modified the USB config in BIOS to Floppy but same result.

If anyone had the same issues please advise

Thank You in advance

System
AMD1090T, Crosshair Extreme, Ripjaws 8Gb CL7, 2x Corsair Force F40Gb in Raid 0,

Hello,

All solved!! I had to slipstream SP3 and the RAID drivers. The mobo's manual instructions i have followed didn't work or at least not for me.
For those who need nfo of how i did it follow the below links:

Yep, use nLite - also just D/L Windows XP SP3 Official ISO -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2fcde6ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e&displaylang=en
