Reinstalling Microsoft® Windows® XP NOTICE: You must use Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later when you reinstall Windows XP. NOTICE: If, after installing the operating system, you may ever wish to use a specific hard drive in an array, you must create a single drive RAID 0 array when installing the operating system. See "Creating an Array using the Nvidia MediaShield ROM Utility" on page 23 for instructions. Before You Begin If you are considering reinstalling the Windows XP operating system to correct a problem with a newly installed driver, first try using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback (see "Using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback" on page 61). If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use System Restore (see "Using Microsoft® Windows® XP System Restore" on page 62) to return your operating system to the operating state it was in before you installed the new device driver. 64 Advanced Troubleshooting
