Default Motherboard & Existing RAID array

I had an existing installation of Win XP pro on a RAID 0 array of two
HDDs. The motherboard (ASUS P5N32 SLI Deluxe) failed and I bought a
new motherboard (ASUS P5N-D) both of which had the Nvidia RAID
chipset.

If I boot off the RAID array as normal then it goes into a cyclical re-
booting. If I use option F8 to get mre detail and turn off auto-reboot
on fail I see a blue screen with error STOP: 0x0000007B (0xBACC7524,
0xC0000034, 0x......etc). Which I believe means it can't find the
driver for the array.

I slipstreamed the new motherboard RAID drivers onto my original
installation Win XP disk and when I boot off that CD then the array is
found and is intact (as also confirmed by the BIOS).

So I can get to the array by booting from the Win XP install CD with
the new RAID array drivers integrated on the CD using nLite. But I
still can't get the original installation to boot up and recognise the
array!!

Any ideas please on how to get the new drivers working for the
original installation?

All help very gratefully received.

Our ITperson here at work has advised us not to set up RAID systems as
the boot drive. We recently set up two computers with RAID systems and
they both use a relatively small HD for boot. These are backed up
regularly to a USB drive.
