so i am currently running vista 64bit on my two 250 GB SATA HDD in Sata RAID 0 for splitting the harddrives. I want to revert back to windows xp, because of all the trouble vista has been putting me through for gaming. I know i need to load raid drivers to install windows in RAID, dont i? also where are some good drivers i can burn to a CD or floppy whatever xp requires?
 
RAID 0 doesn't split the hard drives, it basically combines them into one larger drive (at least to the OS). As for drivers, if you are using an onboard RAID controller then you need to get the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website.
 
yes, thats what i meant to say. so does xp only recognize the drivers on a floppy disc? what if i dont have a floppy drive, what do i do?

Yes, or you can slip stream them into an XP installation disk. Google to find how to documents on that.

Also, RAID 0 stripes the drives into a single array. You can still create multiple volumes (partitions) if you wanted to, as long as the RAID controller supported it.
