HELP: IDE RAID Card can't be installed as SCSI/RAID

I have an UDMA 100 RAID card using CMD649 Chipset. WinXP has a built-in driver for it as an IDE controller, thus it recognizes my 2 HDDs mirrored RAID as 2 singles drives. I try to update the driver but it says that my driver doesn't contain info about the hardware. How can I install it as a SCSI/RAID device?
 
I already created mirrored image in BIOS. Now I can see 2 HDDs with indentical files.

The problem I have is that WinXP doesn't install manufaturer RAID driver, it uses the built-in driver which only recognizes the RAID card as 2 chanels IDE controller. When I tried to install the manufacturer RAID driver, winxp said that driver didn't "contain information about your hardware".

According to their support website, when the RAID driver is successfully installed, "the device classification should now be SCSI class. Install the attached Silcfg.exe RAID utility."

Is there any way to force WINXP to install my driver?
