Can't install Vista bêta 2 - no diks informations founded by Vista ??

Hi
i'm trying to install Windows Vista bêta 2 64 bits on this machine:

Motherboard DFI LANPARTY UT nForce 4 SLI
Athlon X2 4400+
2x512 Mo DDR 400 CORSAIR XMS 2.2.2.5
RADEON X800GTO 128Mo
Raid 0 400 Go (2x200 Go Seagate 7200.08 SATA)
1x500 Go Seagate 7200.09 IDE
1x500 Go Seagate 7200.09 Sata (i tried the nForce 4 & the Silicon Image
Controller)

During the installation procedure and after the "INSTALL NOW" page i've got
the "Cannot find information about your hard disks" message error before
installation stopped.
I tried to format, partionning my disks, tried IDE disk, tried nForce 4 and
Silicon Image Controller with a non RAID SATA disk...but no way, it didn't
works
And i didn't find anything to load manually the pilots too.
What i'm supposed to do ?
May anyone can help me please ?
Thanks in advance.

im just a newbie but found that using daemon tools i was able to install
vista beta 2 without having to burn download to a dvd. daemon tools creates a
virtual drive and was able to launch install from there, also make sure u
disable firewall, virus scan, and antispyware for this will interrupt install
process, one last thing i noticed that when i tried full install it gave me a
message stating the it could not find ide drivers what ever that means and if
i wanted to continue with install instead i chose upgrade wich given that its
in beta its probably more safer option, again im just a newbie hope this was
helpful good luck

i had the same problem. it was raid even though it was disabled..it still
took up a lot of my second drive. i used the windows xp disk manager to
repartition and reformat the part of the drive that it would let me use.
after that, vista saw both of my hard drives.

Ok,
i finally found the problems and fix it
First, i change my Memory voltage from 2.6 to 2.7 Volts (CORSAIR XMS 3200)
and now i don't get any errors system (BSOD) during installation. For
information, Memtest 86+ and Microsoft memory diagnostic didn't found any
errors before i changed the memory voltage.
And to finish, i tried to disconnect my 2 HD RAID 0 without disabled RAID in
my bios setup, but it was not enough. Disabling RAID in my bios setup was
the solution. Now i've installed Windows Vista x64 without any problems.
May theses tweaks help you
