Screwed up reinstall of RAID-0!

[caff]

I have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe mobo.

Last night I wanted to completely reinstall my RAID-0 boot drive, and and change the stripe size. I have two samsung disks in RAID-0 128kb stripe on the Intel ICH-R controller.

To do this I press Ctrl+I to enter the Intel ICH-R Raid setup screen. I deleted the existing RAID-0 disk and created a new RAID-0 with the appropriate disks and a 32kb stripe size.

After rebooting, and inserting the Windows CD to reinstall XP, I used the raid driver floppy disk.

But shortly after loading the drivers (it says 'Setup is Starting Windows...') it bluescreens with a STOP error.

Precise error is:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

Check for viruses on your computer, remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated.

STOP: 0x0000007B 90xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

A 7B error can be an inaccessible boot device or a device driver problem.

I take it this is a repeatable error?

Does it get as far as the "Press S to add new storage drivers" bit?

Yes it happens in the same place every time, and is consistent.

I press S, load the appropriate RAID driver from the floppy (32-bit desktop version) and then wait for a few more windows drivers to load (FAT NTFS etc.)

Then it just blue screens.

I have 2 other hard disks connected onto the Silicon Image controller, I think I'll try removing them to be sure.

Problem fixed by selecting 'Basic' mode for the JMicron controller (rather than AHCI - which it was on for some reason - was installing from a CD on that port)
