0x0000007B error during installation of XP Home Edition on..

STOP:0x0000007B (0xF7C7A524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

Yes, I did "F6" to install the Intel RAID driver using a floppy disk created
from the motherboard support CD. The STOP message/blue screen appeared after
XP loaded all the drivers. It is a clean installation on 2 new HDDs, so I
assume the error is not caused by viruses. Yes, I did upgraded my BIOS to the
latest version beforehand. The SATA data cables are new that came with the
motherboard. Yes, I have also read and printed out MS KB324103, but I am
still not sure what the problem(s) is/are.

1. Does XP Home Edition support RAID1 configuration? I read from Western
Digital knowledge base answer ID 282 that "Windows XP Home Edition does not
support dynamic disks." Is it true? Does it mean that I will have to buy XP
Professional for RAID1 (mirrored)?

2. Should I take out the video card and modem card before installing XP?

3. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Thank you for your response!

It was due to my CD drive being connected to an IDE channel that was
disabled after activing SATA channel to RAID. I plugged my CD drive into
another IDE channel and XP proceeded without error.
