BSOD after cloning from a single drive to RAID
Hi folks. Here is the deal: I had Windows Vista x64 installed on a sinlge SATA drive. Then I configured my system to RAID 0, with 2x 160GB Samsung HDDs and used Norton Ghost to clone from the single to the RAID. As a result, the system hangs when is loading, giving me a BSOD. I believe the problem is on the RAID driver, which is probably not present on the system. So, is there a way to insert this driver into the system and make it boot? I already tried to use Vista DVD and "Repair your computer", but no results. Also tried to put the drivers of the "make disk" program into a pendrive (using Virtual Floppy Driver) and I could load it, but then the repair function doesn't work because it complains about a new hardware attached ¬¬ . Why does they give us the option to load it from a USB device anyway?
Plus: if I configure as RAID and use my old SATA drive, it won't boot too (if I configured as IDE, works as usual, which really leads me to the driver missing problem).

Well, the biggest problem is the one above. But considering that I won't solve that, I searched about another way to do it. Following this post...

...I tried to do as it says, but as I said before, the single drive won't boot when RAID is set up. Then, I can't install the RAID drivers on the system, because, obviously, Vista can't see that there is a RAID controller in use. Any ideas, maybe to trick Vista (or the driver installer) to make it works?
Whew, thats it. I hope someone could lend me a hand. If there's a spelling/semantic error, sorry, english is my second language (more to 1/2 language :P). Thanks erveryone...
