Is it possible to install Vista onto a RAID array without starting the process through an existing XP install?
I created a new array (nF4 chipset) and tried to boot from the DVD but Vista still sees two discrete drives, steadfastly refusing to recognize the array at all.

Starting the Vista install from within XP works, but seems like an unnecessarily clunky way of doing things.

If you have an intel raid setup (ich6/7/8r) it will install without any drivers needed straight from the dvd setup. No need to start the setup from xp.
Works great.
