Installing Windows XP on Inspiron 1721 with raid 0 array

I have Inspiron 1721 with Windows Vista on raid 0 array but I would like to install Windows XP because I don't like Vista :P

Can anyone help me with installing XP on Inspiron 1721 with raid 0 array?

I know how to load raid 0 drivers at the begining of the installation because I did it on my desktop but I would like to know how can I do it without floppy disk?

Where I can get the drivers from?

Can I load them from USB device?

Please help me :)

Simon

    You can get the drivers from AMD/ATI, but you'll need to produce a new XP CD with them on it by slipstreaming them onto the disc you have now.

    But I can't find ATI/AMD RAID drivers for Windows XP, only for Vista :(

    Does any of you guys have Windows XP with RAID drivers for Inspiron 1721?

    If yes please let me know :)

    none of the sound setups worked .. I put all the sound drivers on a cd and had windows XP search the cd for a driver ... after it selected one and installed it ... the sound worked ...
