I have a raid-0 array on the raid controller on my my mobo(Epox 8k3a+). I have WinXP installed on a seperate seperate drive on a different IDE controller. I created the array after I had winxp installed. What I'm wondering is, after I reinstall winXP how can I get it to recognize the RAID-0 array without losing any of the data on it? And do I have to install the RAID drivers when prompted by the winxp install process soon after booting from the cd?

The Windows installer shouldn't care about anything except the drive it's installing on. AFAIK, you only need to install drivers during the installation if you want to *install* to a RAID drive and need drivers for the controller. It should recognize it properly once you install it and bring it up (and install your drivers if you need to).
