Vista installing on a Raid0 array?

[Dreaming]

Well Ive just set up my computer with it's hard drives, and trying to install Vista, but it wont get past the loading screen.

Firstly, I have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, and to use the Intel ICH7R raid controller, I changed the IDE configuration to Raid from Standard IDE. The Intel raid manager loaded, and I set up the array. That was all fine...

Then I rebooted, put the Vista CD in, pressed F8 to select the CD drive as the first boot device, it starts extractig files, does that, but then it comes up to a Loading Screen with Microsoft Corporation and just hangs, no movement on the bar or what.

Really perplexed. Maybe it's because I have a Pata DVD RW? But then it wouldn't load at all, would it...?

Going to try disconnecting my backup harddrives for now, and just having the one raid array plugged in...

Or it doesnt recognise any HDs as they are all raid'd

No it wasn't that... I foudn the problem with some googling. Apparently it's the the hauppage wintv card and this motherboard??

Will try the card when Vista is installed, and have done a firmware upgrade. Damn 975x chipset
