Major Windows XP Reinstall problems

Ok so I backed up all of my information and tried to reinstall windows but when I tried to reinstall from the XP cd it wouldnt recognise my raid 0. I have an asus p5gd2 Deluxe motherboard and the harddrives are 2x 300 gig Maxtor Diamondmax 10 Harddrives. I used the Intel raid setup and delted my old raid but for some reason it wouldnt let me format it and therefore XP wont recognise it....anyone have ANY idea on what steps I am missing? The motherboard manual is on the asus website (I dont think I can deep link it here).

Thanks!

 

When you deleted the Raid did you reastablish a new one, if my memory serves me correctly if you create a new raid after XP should pick it up .. are you fully establishing the new raid correctly. choosing the drives you wish to use then hitting the 'Create' and there should be a F key function to see if it has been established, then hitting Escape to reboot.
