Wow, might try slipstreaming a XP SP2 install disk, and fresh install. That would give you the F6 option to install RAID drivers.

What raid controller are you using? Most raid controllers are software based and have a separate driver for raid and single disk mode so there is a good chance sp2 is just conflicting with the raid driver for your controller.
I have 2 wd raptors in raid 0 on a sil3112 onboard raid controller and it runs fine in winxp pro sp2.
