BSOD with RAID on GA-P35C-DS3R

[klaafstra]

Yeah.. I know... the Intel controller on the GA-P35C-DS3R is superior, but: I want to use the other purple connectors too for a RAID0 configuration.

When I try to install WinXP with the drivers provided by Gigabyte or directly from Intel I get a Blue Screen Of Death.

I press F6 after booting the XP CD-ROM, provide the floppy with RAID-drivers, and after that: a BSOD. I have two 320Gb Samsung Spinpoint drives and have tried several recent BIOS revisions.

In my opinion this should work out of the box or am I wrong?

With the Intel ICHxR controller, I have no problems at all, and the purple connectors (JMICRON controller??) work perfect in normal mode.

But you need the drivers from Gigabyte or Jmicron for the Purple Ports.

Edit:-
I've linked to my revision of the board, however the driver should be the same:-
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Driver - GA-P35C-DS3R (rev. 2.0)

GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver (Preinstall driver)
Note: Press F6 during Windows* setup to read from floppy. (For non-VISTA operating systems)

I forgot to mention that I actually did use the proper JMICRON drivers (different than the intel matrix storage manager).

So I am still having my troubles....
