Intel Matrix RAID drivers

[programmerbob]

I recently have gotten a Dell Dimension 9150(aka XPS 400), and I can't seem to get the drivers to work properly with an unattended installation(using WinPE).(it's a 80551 Pentium D 2.8) It will format the drive then when it gets to the point where the computer reboots, it passes the dell screens, it will give a black screen of death. P.s. I have added mass storage devices before using the drvinst.exe method and it has worked before.

There are 4 settings in the dell bios->

RAID Autodetect/AHCI(the default)

RAID Autodetect/ATA

RAID on

Combination(SATA/PATA)

I don't particularly need RAID, so that's not an issue if I have to shut it off.

Anyone have any luck with this sort of setup?

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid though it's always that way it seems.
