Vista not installing to raid on new build, help!

[Squark]

I've put together a upgrade/new build but vista wont install to the raid0 array that I've setup.

Ive setup two raid0 arrays (2x160Gb WDC drives and 2x80Gb WDC drives) using the boot utility, following the mobo raid instructions.

When it comes to Vista64 I install the raid drivers suppilied by Asus and the drives become visible in the dialogue box, but at the bottom of the screen Windows gives the message:

'This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk is correctly enabled in the computers BIOS'

But as far as I can tell it is, sata channel is set to raid and the primary array is set as a boot device.

Selecting the larger array and then clicking next, Windows gives another message of:

WIndows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation

Can anyone offer some advice or a course of action to remedying the problem?


System:-
Asus M3A mobo
AMD64 X2 6000+
4x1Gb Corsair XMS2 DHX PC2-6400C4DHX
2x160Gb WDC drives in first Raid 0 array
2x80Gb WDC drives in second Raid 0 array
4870X2
OCZ 600W

I got this before, it's common when you setup more than 1 RAID array then try and install Vista, all you do is format both the arrays then restart the PC and it works for some reason.
