Repair install winxpsp1

burton1 · #1 08-15-2004, 04:32 PM

I am trying to repair install winXP, but setup can not find my previous instalation, just offering clean install.
Why?
XP are installed on SATA RAID 0 partition, I just want to refresh this instalation.
Thanks.

I think you need a Raid driver on floppy disk when installing Win XP, Setup program can 't find your previous instalation because it can't mount the volume without raid driver. Insert the floppy driver, press F6 at the first screen of setup to load driver (you will be notified quickly at status bar lower left screen)

Yes, I have pressed F6 during setup, gave drivers on a floppy to the setup. Setup sees the RAID partitions, sees the partition on which winxp is installed, but can not see a windows instalation itself. Therefore it can not repair it.
Why it can not see the previous instalation?
