reformatting vista x64 install reinstall winxp x86

I'm trying to reformat my hard drive so that I can go back to WinXP x86. Too many driver problems for a gamer.
When I boot from my WinXP CD and load the drivers for my nForce4 SATA RAID drives is gives an error that no harddrive exist to install Windows to.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I've been searching through the news group but don't see anything that will help me in my situation.

Is the partition active?

Check in RAID manager at boot menu if the array - 0 + 5? - has any problems. A quick fix is to rebuild the RAID at boot up menu - but you'll lose whatever you have on array. If you are not sure of what you are doing, try booting from another (hard) drive and save whatever you need first. Michael
