Yuck...stay away from SiS in the future. They work, but they are never any good and you run into lots of problems like this one

As for your issue at hand, you should check out the device drivers sub-forum:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=88

If you can't find a specific fix in there, then you may want to look at changing the routine in which you load the SATA drivers. The DriverPack may help you out too if you are interested. Doing a quick search for SISRaid.INF (Part of your drivers included in the post) you get this:

Good Luck!

1) Are you loading a couple of Drives in RAID MODE?

2) If you are not simply switch to SATA Mode only in BIOS

3) Your Windows XP CD sounds like you have a Winnt.sif file in I386 with the [unattend] section, simply copy the Winnt.sif file to diskette and edit it and remove everything in the [unattend] including [unattend].

4) Put your RAID drivers on the diskette as well with your new Winnt.sif file (make sure you have the drivers txtsetup.oem file on the diskette

5) Boot the system with your XP CD and the diskette in A: drive (at the same time) make sure to press F6 to specify the driver when prompted.

Hope this helps
