Booting up for first time problem!

[showcivic17]

hey, i just built my second computer and this is the first time im using the raid setup, first of all i have everything setup right for raid. i have a raid array 0 that is in the JBOD form and it say bootable-functionable and on spanning.. so then in bios i enabled raid and i made my cdrom first priority for boot up. i place the windows xp cd in the cd-rom and it starts up then it says please select proper boot device or place boot media in selected device.....

so i made my cdrom 1st boot priority, had the cd in.. same message. then i made my floppy 1st boot priority and put a boot floppy disk in... same message.

i dont get it, my MoBo detects my HDDs and my cdrom but it jus wont work any help? it would be very appreciated thanks

is it not working because u cant have your OS in a raid setup? m stumped

also one is setup to be master the other HDD is setup for slave, should i have em both as master?

both cannot be setup as masters. Last time I tried that only one of them worked.

they both arent unless i missed somethin, i put the pins so one is master and plugged black conector into it, then the other i put the pins so its slave and put the grey connector into it
