need help immediately! xp wont install!

Ok, I'm having a bit of a problem here. I've formatted thousands of times, but for some reason things aren't working this time.

After booting from the windows xp pro cd, it formatted then started copying the files, however when it rebooted after that it keeps telling me "Error loading operating system" or when I try and unplug other hard drives it will say "NTLDR missing". What is going wrong here? The computer has been working fine for awhile now, but suddenly it won't install windows!

Windows XP Pro
Abit BE6-II motherboard
P2 800Mhz

(2) WD 40GB
(1) Maxtor 45GB

and yes I've done the F6 option for the RAID, and I've made sure the boot sequence is right too. I hope this is just something small and silly I've overlooked, but if anyone has a clue please let me know ASAP as I'm in a bit of a rush.
Thanks

Make sure you have it set to master drive unplug the other drive and format/install again after install is complete then add your other drive back in. It sounds like you have the drive that you are installing to as a slave and it is trying to put the boot-loader on the master drive.
