I knew about booting the XP CD-ROM, but it does not have the RAID drivers
for my system. So I would have to press F6 to load my drivers. However,
since I have an LS120 as my floppy, the CD-ROM boot does not recognize my
floppy as a floppy and I can't add my RAID drivers. The solution becomes to
boot from the 6 setup floppy disks - a pain!

Thus, back to my original comment: how do I construct a bootable XP CD-ROM
*WITH* my RAID drivers installed?

If you boot from the XP CD-ROM, you are given the choice of Setup (S) or
Recovery Console (R) at bootup. Select (R), enter your administrative
password and run chkdsk from there. Common switches are chkdsk c: /p /r
where c: is the drive you want to check and /p checks for bad sectors /r
repairs the sectors. I have had to use this on an unbootable machine, then
entering either fixboot c: or fixmbr c: to fix the boot record. Hope this
helps.
