Trying to install XP with two new SATA drives
I am trying to install XP. I have two brand new 500 GB SATA Seagate hard drives hooked up to my motherboard. I also want to run RAID. But, for some reason during the setup it keeps saying that it cannot detect any hard drives even I went into my BIOS and can see that the motherboard is detecting atleast of the hard drives.

Do I need to install the drivers for my motherboard and/or the hard drives before running the xp setup??

Also which is better to run for RAID. Mirroring or striping and why??
