Printer Error Dual boot vista xp

I have followed the tutorial and it works great. Unfortunately, I have to keep changing my bios settings to get each OS to work. Vista needs "Raid On" in the bios and xp needs "Raid Auto". Each OS works fine when I change the bios settings.

However, neither one will boot up (BSOD) if the setting is not like above. I have tried to load drivers for XP when installing thru F6 and a floppy. I have tried slipstreaming XP pro with SP2 and the Raid drivers and still no luck. I have tried a Recovery XP media slipstreamed with the Raid drivers, no luck.

I am running out of ideas to try. I have a Dell dimension 9200 with Quad core and Vista Basic pre-installed and no disc. I have updated the BIOS and the Raid drivers in Vista using the Intel Storage Matrix drivers for the controller Intel 82801 hr/hh/ho sata raid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
