I have a Sony Vaio VGC-RC210G with a RAID-0 setup in which one hard drive is bad. Windows XP hangs at the black "Microsoft Windows XP" screen. I'm trying to reinstall (or repair) the Windows installation from an XP retail disc, so I can boot Windows and back up my data. However, when Windows Setup loads, it doesn't see my hard drives. One of the first prompts when Windows Setup loads is to press F6 if you have a third-party RAID driver. I contacted Sony, and he couldn't direct me to anywhere they could be downloaded. I thought if I located these drivers, Windows Setup would at least see my RAID-0 hard drives. I have an external floppy drive, and I'm vaguely familiar with the idea of slipstreaming certain drivers into the Windows XP CD, but generally speaking I'm lost on this issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
