I'm not going to be a great deal of help, but here I go anyway

I have the Fasttrack 100 RAID card (The non TX version, that was released after I bought mine, but I don't see a great deal of difference between them).
Under WinXP Beta2 I had a slight problem where although I had specified the device during installation, on the first boot into WinXP it failed to find the RAID controller - big issue for me as my 4 HD's are in a RAID 0+1 array.
In the end I ended up re-installing XP again over the top and that time it worked.
It could have been a one off, it might also just have been an issue with Beta2 that has been fixed in RC1, but I thought I'd share anyway.
