Thanks sheagordie, but had already read that article.  It did not help.  I did find the problem though.  Xp had given my Promise controller card the wrong driver.  I went to promise.com a got a updated driver and now it works. 

Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback and that the problem is resolved.
