Nvidia raid (nvraid) bluescreen after install
After getting my new E6600, MSIP6N and 8800GTS and freshly installing XP on my RAID array (which was a debacle requiring finding a floppy disc and a drive to hold the RAID drivers for the XP installer), XP decided to bluescreen on every reboot. Turns out that SP2 has its own RAID drivers which sort of get smooshed together with the Nvidia ones, causing all manner of insufferable badness. These instructions saved the day, and gave me a nice easy-to-install-for-once XP CD.
How-the-heck-is-anyone-supposed-to-figure-that-out stuff like this is still not enough to make me stop putting my PC together, bit-by-carefully-chosen-bit.
This post exists for people trying to find the answer to the same problem.
