Any ideas on this one on trying to install windows vista beta 2 on an NEC Powermate ML250 which has

-SiS 661fx chipset.
-SiS 180/181 raid controller - SiS964 Southbridge
-Seagate ST340014AS SATA Drive.

I have tried loading the xp raid drivers (stuck at 20% extracting files) and also windows 2003 server raid drivers (stuck at 45% extracting files) the error with the 2003 drivers was "setup failed to install the windows image file is corrupted or unreadable" can't remember if it was the same with the xp RAID drivers I will redo the beta 2 cd and try again incase its duff but we did manage to install it fine onto an IDE drive in the same machine.

Just trying the gigabyte sis964 v4.00a drivers now to see how they work, it actually took them this time without having to remove the tick that says hide drivers not supported by the hardware on the system, fingers crossed.
