yoy2421 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 So I am trying to reinstall windows on my RAID 0 hard drives, I am attempting to format them and get XP on the machine. I can boot into the windows installation blue screen. I put in my raid driver disk, and I push f6, after a while the raid menu comes up, I select the option for an SATA raid, once it gets to the point where it says "installing windows" on the bottom grey bar, that dreaded blue screen immediatley comes up where it says:"your computer has stopped to prevent from damaging itself, etc..., scan for viruses, etc..."What do I do? I tried it with the windows XP installation disk that has SP2 on it, so its a recent version of windows xp.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ensure the machine has no unnecessary peripheral devices attached to it (printers, USB/Serial/Parallel port/Ethernet devices) before trying again.You should have only the barest essentials connected when installing Windows - all the others can be installed later. May not work but is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping this isn't a chipset incompatability issue. People say to try to format your hard drive when you get this error, however, I can't even get to that point.
