vLite asking for .inf files for drivers I'm trying to slipstream

[Red_Dread]

Hi,

I'm attempting to set up a RAID 0 array. I have 2 Seagate Barracuda SATA 250GB drives that I want as a RAID array, with an 80GB IDE Maxtor as my OS/Apps drive. Firstly, is this possible/viable?

I'm trying to install Vista Ultimate 64 but am hitting problem after problem (this is the first RAID I've set up).

It seems that the best way to do this is to slipstream the nVidia RAID drivers to a Vista install CD, however, when I try to add the drivers using vLite, it is asking for.inf files, and the latest nVidia drivers that I've downloaded are 15.24_nforce_winvista64_international_whql and seem to be an .exe file. Have I downloaded the wrong version of the drivers, or am I just missing the point entirely?

Incidentally, I've installed Vista to the IDE drive and all seems to work ok, but although I can see the array using nVidia's Storage facility, they are unallocated and therefore invisible to Vista. Is this because I've probably done something wrong in the installation/RAID setup? (I appreciate that this is a difficult question to answer!).

Any help would be much appreciated.

*EDIT*

I've sorted the drivers/vLite issue - I extracted the .exe to a folder and selected the multiple drivers option in vLite. It then happily streamlined the required drivers etc. I'd still appreciate any help with the other issues, though.
