Since we don't have much 'specific' detail to go on...
Generally, when installing W2K or XP, just have a diskette with your SCSI drivers on it available. During the install, you will be prompted to hit F6 (I think) if you need to install SCSI device drivers... just follow the install prompts.

Also, XP has a bit better native SCSI driver support than W2K, but I always had what I needed on my trusty 3.5" diskette.

I have xp pro and a SCSI card with a 10,000rpm drive.... the drivers are installed automatic. Are you setting up an special array?

[whannanna]

im not setting up a special array,.. i just want this piece to work at 10k rpm.. with my 50 gb scsi drive,.. the drive is 10k rpm,.. 68pin my card is 68 pin . everything fits and suppose to work,... it gives me some stupid error like cant read the drive or reconize or somthing and then i reboot and it starts to install,... but the gives me installation failed.

Would it happen to say something like inaccesible_Boot_Device or something of the sort?

I think NDC is right on it...
It looks to me that you need to load the SCSI adapter drivers while loading the XP install. If you pay attention during the "DOS" part of the XP install, you are prompted to hit F6 if you need to install 3rd party drivers...
