The Xp can't see the hard disk because they are in Raid 0...

MILLIONFISH, could you please send me the link to the drivers for the setup?
I'm not getting respond from LodgeN. I'm having the same problem by the way.
v.57, I called vaio support and they told only vista will run on my type of laptop, and when I started about Linux he said I had to forget about it. But, I did installed Debian successfully on my laptop yesterday.
I guess there are drivers aviable but I just need to find them.

I HAVE INSTALLED THE DRIVERS ONLY FOR THE CHIPSET TO GET XP INSTALLED WITH A USB FLOPPY DISK.. I HAVE DOWNLOADED ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/OS/XPDOWNGRADE/FZ19/DRIVERS/ THE 1 SATA DRIVERS OR SEE http://club.vaio.sony.ru/clubvaio/RU/ru/forum/viewthread;jsessionid=35937B3E8089712632FA0DDD65F76A23...
