Help - Raid Problem with Vista and XP Dual Boot

I have an XPS 410 that came installed with Vista Raid on.  I then installed XP with Raid Autodetect in a second partition.  I used VistaBootPro for the dual boot.  I can go from one to the other if I change the Raid setting in the setup before I boot each.  Will it hurt anything to leave it like that or is it worth attaching a floppy drive and re-installing XP with Raid on.  Any answer to this question is greatly appreciated.

I agree. But to install the Raid drivers for Windows XP, I need to have a floppy drive which I don't have.  My other option is to change Vista to Raid Autodetect  with a merge into the Regedit as menitoned in another post.  I just wondered if it would hurt anything to leave it as it is instead of going to the work involved in the two options.  Not knowing alot about RAID, I wondered if when I go into Vista, if it might overwrite parts of my Windows XP.  What do you think?
