Hi Maheep,

If John's suggestions don't help, then it may be that you have an older, buggy,
version of the Highpoint RAID Controller BIOS (And possibly of the KT7's BIOS
too).  I seem to recall that the KT7/RAID boards have a couple of stability
problems with large RAID without a BIOS upgrade - something they fixed with the
KT7A/RAID.

Try downloading the Latest BIOS updates for the board (The BIOS download and
utility for the KT7/KT7A boards includes both the mainboard BIOS and the
Highpoint RAID controller BIOS), and reflash the BIOS, form a boot disk you are
100% sure is virus free.

I am trying to setup a RAID=0 (stripping) configuration on my Abit KT7/RAID
system.  I was not getting the RAID to setup with each of the two HDDs
plugged into separate connectors as masters.  A friend of mine told me to
change the jumpers to cable select.  I did, and the RAID immediately set up
just the way it should recognizing both drives as masters on their
respective (primary/secondary) connectors.  But now, I have another problem.
I am trying to load the O/S.  The Win ME froze when initializing setup, and
that happens when you have a Nvidia graphic card minus the ME required
driver.  I don't have an OS as yet, so I can't install the latest driver.
It's a catch-22.   Win 98 also cannot get into setup.  And Win 95 keeps
trying to initialize, without moving forward.  The C: drive cannot be read,
and asking it for a "dir" gets the message:  Invalid media type reading
drive C:. It asks if it should abort, retry, etc.  If I try to format the
C: drive, it states:     Insufficient memory to load system files.  Format
terminated.
Does someone have experience with this kind of problem?  I have a 1 Gig
Athlon Thunderbird, and 256 MB memory.  Enough to tackle a NASA problem.
If only I could load up an OS.
Please help.
Thanks.
