    Apparently if you launch the install from within XP SP2, then add the
    "legacy" directory off the Beta 2 Nforce4 Drivers you can get this to work,
    but with Beta 2 only!.

    This does not work for later builds, i can only hope this is fixed in RC1 or
    by new NVIDIA Drivers...

    G'day Trent.

    Assuming that you have configured XP on a RAID array, then try this.

    You should have a utility that lets you copy the RAID device drivers to
    floppy - do it.
    Then as the other poster stated, launch the Vista installation from within
    XP.
    You will get to a screen which shows your partition information. On that
    screen there is a button - load drivers. Point it at your floppy and select
    the drivers.

    On my old machine I had a VIA chipset and the RAID installation was done
    automatically, but my new board has the Nvidia chipset and I needed to
    create a floppy with the drivers on it.

    Hope that helps.
    Graham.
