i have an ASUS P5E with X38 / ICH9R chipset, i installed windows without realizing the SATA controller was emulating IDE. when it came time to rebuild my RAID i had a great deal of difficulty, windows XP would blue screen before it completed loading. there is very little info on the net about this problem right now, and there was no way i was going to install windows again. it is very frustrating that the RAID driver does not install properly with device manager / add hardware.
mizaring, i followed your procedure and it worked perfectly. i can't thank you enough! you saved me a lot of time and effort.
how were you able to find those registry keys?
