Solve : XP install nightmare?

Answer»

My tale of WOE........
        I have Dell XPS, and recently bought a new WD hd from dell, downloaded the intel raid driver again from dell, saved it to a floppy. Run setup to install xp on new hd, hit f6 install the raid driver...I then get an error that the iaStor.sys could not install error 4107 at line 2108 in  d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c

 My bios does not seem to have a autodetect/raid or anything else. All I can find is SATA on/off.....
 The only info I can find about the iaStor.sys file is virus related, but with a new hd that seems out.

Dell is completely useless on this matter, it seems they have their MONEY and screw our 6 year customer. I would get a new computer and throw this POS through the nearest Dell Store front window, unfortunately I am not in a financial position to do so.....

Please help!

2.  Do you have 1 new WD hard drive to replace the old hard drive or are you attempting to add the new one to create RAID?
