Vista Ultimate with sp1 is blue screening on install

[Jeff in okc]

Help!
I just built a new machine to try out Vista ultimate x64 on. I have set up
a Raid 0 in the raid utility and specified raid in the bios. When trying to
install Vista, I get to the point to load the raid driver. When I choose the
raid driver, the system hangs for a second and then goes to a blue screen. I
have tried flashing the bios and checked the manufacturers website for an
updated driver. I get this issue when trying to install 64 bit or 32bit (i
used the 32 bit driver for vista 32 and the 64 bit driver for vista 64 bit).
On 64 bit i get the error Stop: 0x0000001E. It does not reference a driver.
The blue screen with vista 32 bit is
Stop: 0x0000008E
Storport.sys - address 855097B1 base at 85506000, Datestamp 479188cc

Anybody have any ideas on what to try next? Since its locking up and blue
screen when trying to load the driver, i'm not sure what else to try.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5600+
Video: EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS
Memory: 2GB Kingston Hyper X DDR2 (will put the other 2GB in after install.
I've there have been issues with more than 3GB when installing).

Thanks...

I don't know if this helps:
1) My motherboard manual says that when using RAID, you must tell the
operating system, (Vista), that you want to load a RAID HDD as a boot disk
and load a driver and you have to make a RAID driver disk on floppy or CD
before you load Windows so that Windows can load the driver during install.
Better check at the back of your motherboard manual/book.
2) I had a RAID-1 setup before I tried to load Vista SP1, (about 3 weeks
ago). I still haven't got my p.c. running correctly and have since disabled
the RAID as I really don't know what caused the SP1 to fail, although I
suspect an old XP hardware modem driver.
Bye.

Thanks for the response. It is blue screening when i try to load the raid
driver from the cd. I choose the raid driver to load, then the system locks
up for a couple of seconds before blue screening. I suspect that it is an
issue with this driver. Unfortunately i haven't found another driver to use.
I'm going to try and load vista without sp1 and see if that helps any.
Anyone have any other ideas?
