    XP doesn't start on a RAID, it freezes

    I just reinstalled my PC several times. I have Asus A8N-SLI motherboard with 2 hard drives Hitachi 160GB SATA2 raid 0

    I had already installed Windows on the raid and the motherboard is two years old. I want to have a bit of more performance on hard disks.

    After several installation I always have the same problem: once SP2 installed windows PC boot on the raid, it displays the loading windows then freeze. As against if I leave the XP CD in the drive it starts normally. Any idea?

    Yes it's done, it boot's very well, it's just that it freezes during loading windows if the CD player (IDE) is connected and there is no disk inside. If the player is disconnected or there is a disk windows (I have not tried it with something else) inside it then it does not freezes.

    Go in the bios and change the order of startup, set the hard drive to boot first.

    The hard drive is already the first to boot, I even removed the CD player from the list of starting it changes nothing.
