Get the Maxtor Disk Utility 'MaxBlast' on CD, use Google to find it if
you need to. Put the pata drive into the computer and boot the system
with the MaxBlast cd in the cd-rom. Make sure the BIOS is set to use
CDROM as 1st boot device.

Now you can use the utility to set up the 160GB drive to accept the XP
OS.

If you've already enabled RAID, connected the Maxtor ATA to a PATA
ribbon cable, set up the disk as JBOD in the RAID BIOS screen,
wouldn't you need to press F6 during WinXP installation, and
offer the driver floppy ?

This download makes a driver floppy. Insert blank floppy, and run
the Makedisk.exe contained inside the zip file, to prepare a driver floppy.

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/misc/ide/nvidia/NVpataraid_32bit_Disk.zip

(contains Makedisk.exe which formats a blank floppy)

Your floppy will have files like this. I'm only suggesting
this floppy of driver files, because it sounds like you're
prepared the Maxtor 160GB PATA to be a JBOD RAID device.
