Vista Install RAID 1 Issues.....Expand / Collapse

Hi all,

I'm having a frustrating time trying to find a solution for my Vista
dual boot install. I have succesfully got XP up and running, but have
been unable to get Vista x64 running as the RAID volumes are simply not
displaying correctly.

I'm not sure whether I am being finnicky, and whether I should just
choose the first drive that references to the volume I intend to use, or
whether I should persevere with trying to get Vista to recognise it
properly........

Anyway, I have 3 RAID1 volumes - 2 x 74GB Raptor drives, 2 x 320GB
Seagate drives, and another 2 x 320GB Seagate drives. These volumes all
appear perfectly correctly in XP, but yet the Install for Vista shows
the following:

Name Total Size Free Space Type
Disk 0 Partition 1 69.2GB 69.2GB Primary
Disk 0 Unallocated Space 13.0MB 13.0MB
Disk 1 Partition 1 298.1GB 298.0GB Primary
Disk 2 Partition 1 69.2GB 69.2GB Primary
Disk 2 Unallocated Space 13.0MB 13.0MB
Disk 3 Partition 1 298.1GB 291.7GB Primary
Disk 3 Unallocated Space 9.0MB 9.0MB
Disk 4 Partition 1 298.1GB 291.7GB Primary
Disk 4 Unallocated Space 9.0MB 9.0MB
Disk 5 Partition 1 298.1GB 298.0GB Primary

A simple match up shows that Disks 3 & 4 are the existing XP install
RAID volume which is working fine. Disks 1 & 5 are what will be the data
storage volume, and disks 0 & 2 the proposed Vista install volume.

I have installed all the drivers for the motherboard, but these have
not updated or changed the above in any way.

Does anybody have any advice or anywhere they can point me to resolve
this!!!!!!!!!????? I have looked on numerous sites, and noone seems to
know how to fix it, and those that do post with the issue never seem to
come back with the resolution!

Appreciate any help - thanks!
