You are not the first one with these problems.
It is impossible to get the newest nForce SataRaid drivers installed onto an nForce SataRaid system by using F6/floppy method. Reason: The actual nForce SataRaid drivers are not correctly digitally signed by MS. Although the XPx32 and XPx64 setup routine detects the Raid array correctly during TEXTMODE part of the installation, it installs at least the wrong MS IDE Standard drivers. Bad consequence: endless reboots.
