Default Repairing XP while maintaining RAID integrity?


I was playing a game when my computer began to drop
frames, I figured my video card was about to crash, so I
exited and restarted.

The computer will not restart, I am getting past the post
screen, and apparently my RAID stripe is functional, but
it tells me that a file in windows\system32\config\system
(I think it's system.log) is "missing or corrupt."

I try to run a windows (XP pro) repair, by booting from
the cd, but it tells me that my hard drive "has not been
detected." Apparently, when it prompts me, I am supposed
to "press F6 to install any third-party RAID drivers."

I have an ASUS A7V333 with a Promise RAID controller and I
put the drivers on a disk. Here's the thing, I have never
reinstalled/repaired XP before, is reinstalling the RAID
drivers going to make me lose my data or settings?
