Windows XP

[WC Annihilus]

Well, I had installed my new SATA drives (found out that 2 of them were SATAII ) but when I tried to install the Windows XP Professional w/ SP2, it copies the files fine, but when I do the actual installation, I get an error saying that one of the files isn't confirmed right or something. its like, d:\window\1386\etc.... (I think...). Anyone have this problem before and know what to do? I'm trying to install on the SATAII's in RAID0

Well, I tried another CD today and it had the same problem. The following message comes up:

***

Error:

SXS.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:\1386\asms\10\msft\windows\gdiplus\gdiplus.man" on line 4

***

Error:

***

Fatal Error:

End message...

Any ideas people? Is the NVidia RAID controller bad in some way? Is it better to use the Silicon Image controller? I really want to get this done so please help :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Sounds like the gdiplus.dll file is probably corrupted. I have posted a link for peeps who have experience similar probs. DavOs' thoughts are also a high possibility

Well, I've pretty much established that the problem is with the RAID, not the HDD's or the install disk. I did the setup process on each of the drives separately and it worked, so there is some problem with having them in a RAID setup. Any ideas people?

Run the manufacturers utility on both of the disks seperately to see if either are bad. If one/both are then RMA

If not then re-build the RAID array and make sure you have the RAID drivers disk when you try to install winblow$

A ful format and install is called for mefinks

Problem solved. Damn driver disk make from the mobo support CD were bad I guess. I used drivers I downloaded from the MSI site
