i think i finally got the RAID drivers all set up properly...

my final issue is this:

how do i make the Omega drivers install properly from the $OEM$\$1\Drivers folder...or is it even possible

ATI Catalyst drivers or any Omega can be installed, but I wouldn't recommend it. Why? They're updated monthly

Not worth it in my opinion. If you do want to do it though, I suggest you scour the forums over at MSFN.org

i've scoured them, and i THINK i've got it now...but the only way to test it is the hard way, as VMWare won't simulate video cards or raid controllers ::grits teeth::

i need to kill my install and reload windows anyways.....so if i dissappear for a few days, that's where i am...haha

Well.. I test my RAID controllers by just running the CD and if it recognizes my RAID setup then I can set up partitions. If it doesn't allow me and the error shows up telling me that Windows can't find a HDD, then I know my RAID drivers aren't working.

As for video, well a full install would be the way to go... You can keep your original XP if you install it in a different partition

Just use "Partition Magic" and create a 4 GB partition on your drive now and install XP onto it... You can delete it later and still retain your current XP. It's a lot of work, but saves you the hassle of killing off your current XP. You may run into some issues with booting up the proper WinXP, but that can be easily taken care of. I hope all goes well
