OK....heres the deal. I have purchased an IWILL RAID card thats ata100. I have 2 30 gig maxtor 7200rpm ata100 drives. Upon installing i create the array and start win2k install. I install the highpoint drivers when win2k asks and everything runs just fine....until the reboot. Upon rebooting it gets to hte "Starting Windows" progress bar and freezes. Keeps doing this. But sometimes it states that ntskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt. I have done everything under the sun imaginable to get this to werk....using slave/master/CS for the hard drives settings (Master is supposed to work) but to no avail. I have tried ntfs formatting but the problem persists. I fdisk'd the drives and it seen the 60 gigs and formatted as fat32 and win2k setup seen it was a valid partition, but the exact problem still happens. I have the latest bios for mobo and raid card. Using the newest drivers downloaded from iwill's website. I could really use a hand in figuring this out....or is it just a hardware conflict? One wierd thing is that it works fine when i mirror the data....but not when i stripe the data. But i wanna stripe data....so im at a loss.
