Dude.. take 20 minutes, and make your custom windows disc using vlite with your raid drivers on it.. seriously, it will WORK, be done with this crap. I spent a whole weekend failing at it too, don't even do it. Just use vlite, TRUST ME!

so was the problem with the jmicron and if so could you elaborate more ( was it a bootiong problem) just curious to find out what if any third party raid ports work for more then just data raids
( just for your info this is just for my own curiosity i was not able to get the gsata ports to boot a raid0 on my own ds4. I guess there data only)

the problem was with the jmicron, but not a booting issue. I believe (as kruzn explained it to me) that the Jmicron controller on the motherboard was interfering with the Indilux controller in the SSD's.

The other issue could have been due to the "warm" copy of Vista x64 I was trying to install. I was holding off buying it because I'm not a huge fan of vista. I'd rather wait until the release of windows 7 64 bit...but as kruzn pointed out to me "why dont you just download the release candidate...its free". Damn did I feel like an idiot after that!

so anyways, long story short, I"m now up and running (thanks again Kruzn)
