Vista - Sata Raid prevents install

hardware:
asus a8n sli deluxe
2x74gig WD raptors (sata) in raid 0
1x 120gig Maxtor (pata)
2gig ram
2 x geforce6600 gt

When installing vista says it cant find the drive information. Hitting ok
goes back to install vista and the cycle repeats. I'm not prompted to install
the f6 drivers.

If I unplug the sata drives, I can install vista fine to the maxtor drive
but I'm not prompted for the sata raid drivers.. if I try to install raid
after vista is installed, windows recognises the separate raptors, but doesnt
see them as raid 0

Anyone else getting the same? anyone got a work around?

I wrecked a perfectly good x64 system trying to install vista. When I was a
beta for x64 I still found raid drivers.

How do I get a raid 0 on my a8n???

So far in vista, I havent been able to get it to recognise the raid 0, it
will see the individual raptors but thinks they arent formatted.

works fine in xp64
