[Ham-Computers] Saga continues with new problem - XP install error

[Mike D.]

ASUS AV8 Deluxe
Socket 939
Windows XP Pro SP2
RAID 1 SATA
Promise FastTrack 378 Controller

I am now able to get Windows to begin installation on my system. I formatted
the RAID array during the O/S install. During the initial XP install, I
press F6 to load the Promise driver. Windows begins to load files and then I
get the following error message:

"Setup cannot copy the file: fasttx2k.sys
- To retry, press enter.
If you are installing from a CD [[I am]], make sure the Windows XP CD is in
the CD-ROM drive [[it is]].

- To skip this file, press ESC.
CAUTION: If you skip this file, setup may not be complete and Windows XP may
not work properly.

- To quit setup, press F3."


This is not a new system-it worked except it needed a Windows XP reinstall.
The only difference in the hardware from when I built the system is: 1) I
updated the system BIOS; and, (2) The two SATA drives in RAID 1, have been
used [[successfully]] in this system. The drives were formatted during the
attempted Windows install as NTFS.

I'm using a Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM install CD.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
