can't install windows xp on the drive....

HI:

I just got:

asus p4c800delux
asus v8460 (nvidia fx 5600)
two western digital 200GB drives
sony Cdrw

I enabled the onboard promis raid chip and turn the drives in to raid0.
everything cool and the windows xp prof. sp1 cd kicks in and i installed
the driver for the promis raid chip then it picked up the drives and
partitioned them and try to intall windows. but it kept on messing with me
as to not being able to copy certain files but finally finished and rebooted
and it crashed. i try rebooting it couple of times but it crashed everytime.
I deleted the strip array and made it into two hard drives and took care of
the promise card finction in the bios to ide controller instead of raid. and
try to reintall widnows from scretch and after rebooting it crashed again
and again. I used my adaptec 1200a raid controller this time and disabled
the promise chip in the bios and damn, the same thing first time after
rebooting it crashes.
what do you thing might be the problem. the drives seem to be good and i
am going out of my mind. I appreciate any help. thank you
