    Are you actually using RAID, or just the SATA drives? Try it first, because there's a good chance that Vista will have built in support.

    I also heard that Vista can load the drivers from a USB stick. Never tried it, though.

    Vista can load drivers from a USB stick or from a CD - it'll let you take out the Vista CD at one point and put in the motherboard driver disk to pull drivers off of.

    No you shouldn't, but if you do require them you can pull drivers of tonnes of little things now (as mentioned above).

    er... seems its not... the cd i've just found it... says "SUPER SOUND MULTIMEDIA" and google finds no direct site:S it has various drivers on the disc which i have scanned thoroughly in the vista installation startup and nothing:( i NEED those drivers!!!
    EDIT... this has 2 sata drives NOT RAIDed but at both ext3 partitions but one drive has a 24gb vista partition i made on there and its not showing. I don't want to obviously format and loose my data in order to see it mind.I could convert them to ntfs in partition magic i think but surely i should still have the option to format them altogether in vista installation?
    EDIT:
    nah don't worry about it everyone but cheers anyway... I found some random "gigabyte" ones on google even though its not a gigabyte card.and as we speeak im on vista.and its running very smooth and not slow at all as people said it would:p and I haven't even installed the graphics drivers yet and 1600x1200@70hz is very nice:D
    cheers guys for all your help anyway:D

    You might want to take a look at this software. It allows you to create a custom install disk.
