SATA RAID question

Please help!

I am having difficulty getting Win XP to boot from my RAID 0 array ...

My old hard drive contains three partitions .. system, apps, and multimedia.
I installed the two new drives and used the Intel Application Accelerator
software from my P4C800 cd to install the drivers and configure a raid array
from the two drives. I also enabled sata raid in the bios. Pressing Ctrl-I
at startup shows the new array as being bootable.

I then created the three partitions on the new drive and copied across all
of the data from the old ... my applications now run from the new drive, as
does my multimedia .. but I simply cant get the whole system to boot from
the raid array.
At startup I get a prompt saying "A read error has occured", and I have to
reconnect the old drive and boot from that instead. I have set the system
partition of the new drive as active but I have now ran out of ideas!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

If anybody else is experiencing the same problem as me, check out this page
that I unearthed from the intel website:
