Windows Vista x86 installation... BSOD!

Ok, I am being a little adventurous with the installation and I am getting a
BSOD during first part of the installation. The thing is that I am not sure
what and where to look.

Here is the system specs I am trying to install Vista to.
=====
AMD 2200XP, 1 gig ram
80 gig - PROMISE RAID TX2000
Nvidia Quadro FX 500
Asus A7V8X
Adaptec SCSI card 29160
PLextor SCSI CD Burner
Pioneer DVD-Rom / Sony 8x DVD Burner
=====

anything really wrong with the config!? might it be the RAID drivers?

The array is showing as an 8mb partition... can't resize or reformat from
Vista.

Thanks.

if it bsods pretty soon after boot (0-2 mins) then yeah the raid drivers are
good guess.

if it's late in setup then windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log <<-- last 20 lines
can sometimes help if setup bsods or hangs
