New Raid 0 Install From CyberPower XP Pro Recovery CD Not Working

When trying to install OS to new bootable Raid 0 array with CyberPower Inc XP
Pro Recovery CD after the OS formats the Drive where the OS it to go it
starts to seek the Raid drivers again. If I do install with another XP Home
disk I have install is fine! Doing normal Raid install Hit F6 -> Add Raid
Drivers from Floopy -> OS sees drive and so on till it formats the drive.

CyberPower said I needed to add this File WINNT.SIF to the Raid Disc!

File has these call outs:

[Data]
AutoPartition = 1
MsDosInitiated = 0
UnattendedInstall = Yes

[Unattended]
UnattendMode = GUIattended
OemSkipEula = No
OemPreinstall = No
DriverSigningPolicy = Warn

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword = *
AutoLogon = Yes
AutoLogonCount = 1

[GUIRunOnce]

[UserData]
FullName = YourName
OrgName = CompanyName
ComputerName = *

[Display]
BitsPerPel = 32
XResolution = 1024
YResolution = 768
VRefresh = 70

[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup = Workgroup

[Networking]

[Shell]
DefaultThemesOff = No
DefaultStartPanelOff = yes

;For Server installations only
[LicenseFilePrintData]
AutoMode = PerSeat


I am not sure how this is going to work? The tech at CyberPower was extremly
rude and combative. I thought I paid extra for a full copy of XP Pro when I
purchased my system! Well anyhow I am guessing here that I need to add this
file to the Raid Driver disc for this to work. The tech at Cyber didnt
comfirm this or do I run this on its own. I am still in shock at how tech at
CyberPower Inc treated me for something I paid for something I paid for.

Thanks

Sorry I also posted this on the New User Section and it should have been

So if a retail version of xp sees the RAID set,F6 is ok,then procceed to xp
cd boot screen and install xp.If youre oem copy isnt up to it,then purchase
a retail copy of xp.Cyberpower xp disk (if that what you have) is going to
be the problem.

Agreed I am trying it with the file they provided added to the Raid driver
floopy and it is still not working. When I purchased the system I paid extra
for an OS and even more for XP Pro due to the type systems CyberPower builds
I thought I was paying for a full working copy of XP Pro I cant see why I
should have to go out and spend 199 for upgrade or 299 for a full MS Version
of XP Pro when I that is what I paid for originally. Grrr.
