Default Problems installing a dual-boot Vista XP system

Hi:

Following information I found in various chats, I first installed Vista Ultimate on a brand new system I have just assembled. Next, I wanted to install XP to dual-boot the system when needed. And this is where I ran into some serious issues. I am using the built-in Intel ICHR9 RAID Controller, and have two 500GB SATA-II drives set up in a RAID 0 array. It works real well and is fast under Vista. However, I can't get XP to start installing on that configuration, even using a third 500GB drive. The installation CD loads the correct drivers, but I get a blue screen when it is time to start the XP installation. Sorry, I didn't make a note of the error, only that the system has been halted to prevent damage to it.

Do you have any suggestions?
