Problems with my RAID 0 Setup

[pixelharmony]

So I wanted to setup my drives in RAID 0 last night. I have two identical Samsgun 250 Spinpoint P's and was using the Intel raid controller on my ASUS P5B Deluxe.

I got everything to setup correctly.. turns out when I use the RAID Drivers that come with my motherboard windows bluescreens me. Windows says they have the drivers already and when I use them it reads my nice fat 500GB RAID 0 disk with no problems.

I installed the entire OS and upon trying to load my system just reboots after the first blue bar of windows XP crosses. I don't know what the problem could be. I'd imagine a faulty RAID Driver?

Any insight into this?

Windows says it doesn't need the raid drivers provided to it? My seem like a silly question, but have you forced it to use the latest drivers that Asus has instead of window's? Also, what is the data from the blue screen saying? I had an almost similar problem, but it turned out that I had the bios set to performance on the cpu and memory, it needed to be at auto or default for some reason.

Run XP in safe mode and see how far it goes.

I tried safemode and it got only so far till it went black and restarted.

When I forced windows to use the newer Asus drivers it gave me a blue screen saying blah blah bad storage controller or virus, reinstall hardware... etc.

Actually when windows boots up it doesn't go blue it just shuts off and restarts.

I was thinking I should put all my settings back to normal as well, but then again windows did install fine, it just won't load the OS.
