Oh boy, the fun of re-installing all that software. :( I buy a 320 Gig IDE, strip out ALL HD's from the machine - only for the sake I don't want to keep them online incase anything else happens.

Essentially what I did was to unplug all the extra drive devices and install windows with just my primary SATA Raid array and the DVD drive connected. This way the RAID array was assigned drive C. It won't assign the DVD drive as C if there is a HD. After the WinXP install I connected the rest of the drives and

Myth that XP won't install on a bare Intel Mac PC
Check in the BIOS set up to see if the floppy drive is enabled. Also check to see if the IDE/SATA channel is enabled in the BIOS so that XP can find the DVD drive.

Well, I called Andy, and it sounded reasonable to me that perhaps the SATA hard drive crashed.
