    I believe you have the Alienware Area-51 m7700.

    We need more info...

    What version of Windows are you installing? XP? Vista? W7?

    Go to your bios, and changed the setting that says SATA/IDE to the opposite one, and try installing xp again

    Before you go any further go to the clevo site and check there I do not remember but that model did not support raid. It was a single HD unit.

    I had that unit and I know it was single HD when I ordered it.

    Go here anyway see if it helps
