HELP!! SCSI raid 0 freeze when installing XP!

hi all, this problem has been frastrating me for 2 weeks.
rig configeration:
cpu opteron 275 x2
mb tyan k8we s2895a2nrf (non scsi)
ram 4 x 1GB ocz4001024erte
hd 2x Fujitsu MAU3073NP 15k,8m,SCSI
Raid controller adaptec 2130slp

the problem is when i was trying to install windows xp 32bit pro, the installation goes extremely slow, the "setup is starting windows" takes me about 30 mins to go through, and each step before the hard drive formatting, partition creating takes beyond normal time to go through. I tried to use an IDE hard drive to install windows, and it goes smooth.

i also changed a brand new scsi cable with terminator. and it won't help at all.

any ideas? i'm thinking about the hard drive jumpers, the 1st hard drive i leave the terminator power open, which means " drive does not supply terminator power to scsi bus", and i shorted the 2nd(last) hard drive with the terminator power. however, i tried different ways, leave both terminator power supply open, short, none of them works. please help.
thanks in advance.

regards,

allen

Some Mobos dont like SP2 in RAID0 for some reason. I dont know if this is your problem, but if it is you can usually get by with SP1 and then upgrade to SP2

ASUS P5WD2 Premium
Intel 3.73 EE @ 5.6Ghz
XMS2 DDR2 @ 1180Mhz
