Default NF-95 raid help please

i've just purchased an Abit nv-95 mainboard, + Athlon 3200+ 939 proc, and 2
x 250gb Hitachi hard drives.

Powerup the system, enter the RAID f10, set a stirpped raid and set to
bootable, along with clear drives.

The cd that came with the board (Nvidia) has 2 lots of each SATA control
drivers on, one says NVRaid_32, the other NVRaid NF_95 32 then NVRaid_64 and
again NVRaid_NF95_64

so the Windows cd is in the drive, regardless of ordinary of 64bit, blue
screen comes up, press F6, the cd wurs away, then the option appears, press
"S" select the first of the two raid drivers that it presents, hit enter and
back to main screen again, then his "S" again, this time select the other
raid driver, again, hit enter when finished.

It then gets to the part where is says Starting Windows, you then take the
option to install rather than repair, and you get the msg that the drives
could not be seen.

for the love of god i can not get any further, on some occasions it tells me
that certain driver files on the floppy are corrupt, so i've been out and
bought nwew ones just to be sure, but i have no idea what to do next.

The only other thing that is bugging me about this is that, according the
pdf on the cd, when you go into the bios, and slect Perhperal what ever, you
should see a "Raid Config" area, which i dont, but i dont know what bearing
this may have on things, can anyone help??

Nvida support, well i spoke to them 3 days ago, never called me back or
replied to any emails.

I'm desperate now, has anyone got any suggestions please??

**** UPDATE ******

As of ths monring, i'm not even getting that far, i'm now getting everytime,
a msg that says that the ***** driver is corrupted after doing the F6 thing

anyone help please.
