A8n32-SLI and Vista

Hi,
anyone has tried to install vista on such motherboard. I have 4 disks attached to the nVidia Raid (2 in raid 0 where XP il loaded) . During the Vista setup (launched from XP), I selected one of the SATA spare HD, and also selected load drivers. I used the Raid beta drivers from nvidia, but it seems that is not working. At reboot I get "An error accurred while locating the drive onto which Windows is being installed"
I tried installing Vista without loading any driver for the controller, but at reboot I get BSOD error 7B.
Any clue

I have sucessfully installed Vista to the A8N32-SLI Premium with AMD 64 3500+ and 1GB of memory. I installed a spare 80GB drive left over from an old computer and put Vista (64 Bit) there. I was actually rather pleased that Vista wouldn't recognize the SATA RAID drives. By using features from the BIOS to determine which drive to boot from, I now have the best of both worlds. Vista can't SEE my XP drives which makes me feel more comfortable. If there is anything I need to transfer to Vista, merely boot to XP, copy data to the 80GB drive and reboot to Vista. I don't have to worry about the complications of boot managers which have a history of causing grief.
It would be nice to have all the drivers to make everything work but, after all, this is a BETA. The HP printer works fine in pure text mode after installing the Generic printer that seems to be able to work with just about anything. At this stage of "playing around", I really don't need much more that text output. Fancy graphics can wait until HP can catch up.
Now if I could only get the TV tuner to work.........
