RE: XP no longer boots off RAID

Usually you need to enable RAID 2 or 3 places in the BIOS,advanced chipset,
set boot priority,& in advanced,enable RAID & IDE devices.After that,you
should
get the post RAID utility before xp starts,if the post RAID utility doesnt
show
then RAID is not enabled.

Hi,
I had to upgrade BIOS so I ended up in "Load BIOS defaults".
That nice operation disabled nVidia RAID setup on ASUS mobo - I didn't
notice that. After that change XP started ok, however discovered 2 HDDs,
installed drivers for them and now I see two HDD's rather than one.
Went back to BIOS, enabled RAID, visited F10 to see if Mirror is Healthy (it
was).
But Windows won't start: Missing NTOSKERNEL
If I disable RAID in BIOS XP works, shows two drives, and that's not what I
want.

Now the question:
How do I lure XP into using RAID drivers again?
(Without reinstalling Windows and countless updates?)
TIA
