Install RAID conttroller after initial XP install?

[postapacket]

I think that you can install the drivers for RAID later,
i have a Gigabyte Mobo and never had theinstall discs but
i just turned off the option for raid......maybe a waste
but at least i dont get the new hardware screen every
time i boot up.
