sata raid prevents install

hardware: asus a8n sli deluxe 2x74gig WD raptors (sata) in raid 0 1x 120gig Maxtor (pata) 2gig ram 2 x geforce6600 gt
When installing vista says it cant find the drive information. Hitting ok goes back to install vista and the cycle repeats. I'm not prompted to install the f6 drivers.
If I unplug the sata drives, I can install vista fine to the maxtor drive but I'm not prompted for the sata raid drivers.. if I try to install raid after vista is installed, windows recognises the separate raptors, but doesnt see them as raid 0
Anyone else getting the same? anyone got a work around?

I wrecked a perfectly good x64 system trying to install vista. When I was a beta for x64 I still found raid drivers.
How do I get a raid 0 on my a8n???

So far in vista, I havent been able to get it to recognise the raid 0, it will see the individual raptors but thinks they arent formatted.
works fine in xp64

I have an asus A8R-MVP, I am using ULi Sata raid drives for my XP 64 installation. I installed another drive for vista. Asus did not have the Vista compatible driver, but I found it at nvidia using internet search. When Vista install showed no hard drives I put the floppy in the a: drive and clicked install drivers. Works fine.

Vista cant get the drive information if I have the sata disks plugged in, and isnt prompting for drivers to for the hard disks. It simply says cant find drive information, if I hit ok, it goes back one step to install vista.
prompting for drivers happens in the next step. (I know this because if I unplug the satas it will see my one ide hdd and say that if the drive I want to install on isnt visible to insert the driver disk.

the message I get after hitting the install button and waiting a few seconds is: "Setup could not get information about the disks on your computer" hitting enter goes back to the start screen. There is no option to load up raid drivers.
