Drive Image doesn't like my RAID array

I swapped my old mobo out today, I backed up my HD (RAID 0, 2x Raptors) using Drive Image to an external 1394 drive. Naturally windows wouldn't boot off the new array (MSI K8N Neo2 Plat) so I fired up my drive image bootable cd. Of course I need the drivers for RAID to work so I popped in the floppy that came with the motherboard. Naturally, the drivers didn't want to load off the floppy, I got an error message "nvraid.sys cannot be found" or something like that. I checked and it is on the floppy, just to make sure I made another floppy on a friends computer and still got the message. I suppose it is possible that the floppy drive is bad or something, althought it has never given me problems before. I was hoping that I could make a copy of the drive image cd, and put the drivers in the directory on the disc where all the other controller/raid drivers are kept, but I don't really know where that is. The drive image self bootable cd seems to act like a really stripped down version of windows setup and has filed like ntdetect as well as a somewhat complete looking I386 folder. I was thinking that if I wanted to embed the drivers they might go into X:\I386\system32, but I don't really know. Since Symantec took over powerquest the support is pretty nonexistent as all they want to do is sell you ghost now...

Any advice is apreciated,
Pete

I think you would need something like TERABYTE software for RAID,
DOn't think DI will cope with it

I used DI because several people told me it worked with RAID. It made the image fine (from my old mobo and RAID array). I guess if I have to I can mount the image on another HD (non RAID) and then image that over to the RAID array using different software, ugh.

Anyone know how to embed storage controller drivers into a windoze install cd so that I don't need the floppy?
 
Only hardware RAID levels 0 (stripe sets) and 5 (stripe sets with parity) are supported

I pulled that from symantec's web site, under their support for DriveImage. this is a little odd because the image that I made a few days ago was from 2 RAID0 drives, with my old A7N8X Deluxe mobo.
