Ok so here's new system specs:
-Biostar tforce 550 SE
-Athlon X2 3800+ (65W)
-2x Hitachi Dekstars 80gbs set to RAID 0

When I try to install Windows XP Home SP2 it goes through all the loading files and then says Setup is loading Windows(at the bottom there), screen goes black for a sec, then BSOD!
Here's what it says (abridged):
Problem...

If happens again follow these steps...

Check for viruses, remove new HDDs, check HDDs to make sure properly configured and terminated (what the heck does that mean?), run CHKDSK.

Technical Info:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7C7A524, 0x0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Please help! :respect:

Did you press F6 when it says to, to install the RAID driver?

I believe so! is it supposed to respond at all when I do? because it didn't do anything different when I press F6 (when it says to right at the beginning)

and no there's no OC or any, just hooked everything up

Yup, thats your problem mate :).

Whats basically happening is that Windows has not installed any drivers for the RAID array. When it goes to install Windows, it cant detect what the HDD's are doing (the drivers basically tell it what RAID is), so it just BSOD's.

With XP, it HAS to be a floppy. Vista is more flexible, lets you boot from what you want.

The only thing you can do, is IF your mobo supports it, "emulate" a USB flash disk to "act" as a floppy drive.

Not sure if your mobo supports it, but the option will be in the BIOS menu.

I just had this same exact problem (same stop error too) with my brand new Asus M2N-SLI. It would only happen when I had RAID enable. This is NOT an issue with RAID drivers -although you WILL need them for XP installer to see your RAID, otherwise it will see the two drives separately, or not at all, and yes it has to be a floppy-, this is a BIOS incompatibility issue.

Reboot, disable your raid, try the install again, and see if it will get passed the spot it normally BSODs. This is what happened to me, and once I updated my BIOS, the BSODs stopped completely when I re-enabled RAID.

I think the nForce 550/570/590 RAID controller has some bugs that are still being worked out.
