Hello,

I have installed free limited version of Windows 2008 Server and now I would like to come back to Windows XP (or 2003). When I start my computer from install CD I get a memo that installing system does not see hard drive in this computer. That's weird because I have installed system from these CDs (I tried with XP and 2003 Server with the same result) on the same computer (laptop) several months ago. Any hints how I can handle with this problem? Thanks!

Regards, Mark

By sata newsapp means Raid.

You will be prompted to press F6 before installation begins to load 3rd party raid drivers. Press F6 and load the files from the manufacturer's disk.
