Trouble Installing Windows XP on RAID0

[Sparky]

I am having difficulty installing windows XP pro on my SATA hard drives
for RAID 0. I have set my BIOS configuration correctly to enable the
RAID. I have gone into the nVidia RAID configuration and setup the two
drives for RAID 0 and can see the status on those drives as a healthy
volume. I then booted to the Windows XP CD for installation, press F6
to install the drivers for the RAID. After installing those two
drivers, I then proceeded to format the volume and begin the process of
installing the OS. However, when the installation process gets to the
part where it says the system will reboot in 15 seconds, after the
timer finishes counting down, the computer does not restart. It just
sits there not rebooting. So, I decided that I would manually reboot.
Aftere which I booted to the RAID that I had setup and the windows
installation started up. I went through all of the normal setup
information and when it reached the end of the install, just after it
deletes the temp files, it sits there with a blank screen and a mouse
cursor and does not restart. When I try to manually restart and boot
to the HD, I get a blue screen indicating that the Windows could not
boot. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but any help would be
appreciative.

Usually thats the ACPI/APIC setting in the bios thats
stopping the system being restarted at the software level.

And its important to start the full install again and format the
partition, XP doesnt like having that changed behind its back.
