abit ab9 dead floppy drive, nlite to the rescue

[troubleshooter]

I'm new to the forums and i hate for my first post to be one asking for help, however i'm not prpared to waste another day fooling around.

I have just built myself a brand new media centre pc, with 2 x 500gb hitatchi deskstars on an abit ab9 pro, i managed to install xp fine on one drive last night.

However i wanted to put them in raid 0, i had problems with this as for my motherboard (abit ab9 pro) you need to install drivers from two different floppy disks as there is a jmicron controller for ide drives and an intel controller for raid configuration.

XP wouldn't let me do this, only only read one disk.

The previous installation was deleted as i created it before i put the hard drives in raid.

Now i'm a bit stuck not only can't i get the pc in raid, the usb floppy is no longer working for some strange reason, basically leaving me with no option but to slipstream.

So i go off and download nlite and waste a million blank cds trying to slipstream the jmicron and intel drivers.

I've had no luck for the last 12 hours.

Please could somebody walk me through slipstreaming with nlite for 2 raid drivers, jmicron and intel.

Do you still need this, I just saw this post and also I have a Asus board with Jmicron controller for IDE too?
