Mouse & Keyboard are frozen

The same thing occurs in the safe mode. I also tried using the instalation
disk and doing a repair. Windows XP doesn't acknowledge the hard drive. The
hard drive is set up as RAID0 there are 2 hard drives both 149 Gb. I check
the drives at start up and they checked good. Any ideas? Do you need a
special version of Windows to reconize a RAID Array?

You need to load the drivers first...from a floppy

I don't have an original disk with drivers, the computer doesn't have a
floppy drive, do you know where I can go to get the drivers to download?

The SATA drivers should have come with your motherboard
and if you don;t have them you can download them from the mfg

Though there are ways to slipstream the drivers into your install cd,
it would prob be easier to install a floppy.

BTW: There is a *possibility* that creating an sp3 slipstreamed XP would
solve the problem,
but I think we better hear from an expert on that one!
