Default Install RAID after initial XP install?

Try loading the xp cd,exit welcome screen,shut-down
computer.On start-up,you will get a dynamic install-
ation option of xp,it will save youre current configur-
ations,the only loss are all updates the updater inst
alled,you can add the raid option at that time.

Lost hard drive and did a clean install of XP. MB is

Gigabyte GA8IEXP
with onboard Promise RAID (IDE). I noticed that XP

Install asked
early on if I wanted to install a RAID controller. I

didn't have the
drivers to hand so I passed the opportunity to set up the

RAID
controller at that time. Everything else went fine but

Device Manager
of course shows the "yellow ?" for the RAID controller.

I manually
installed the Promise XP driver (from Promise.com) and

now Device
Driver shows a line item for the Raid Controller with

another "yellow
?" that says the controller can't start.

I'm started a reinstall so that I could get the initial

RAID
Controller setup opportunity but I would need to

uninstall Winfax and
Autosave first. I'm willing to do that but I thought I

would reach
out for help first because I'm not sure that wouldn't be

a rat hole
too.

The basic question is whether there is a way to install

the Promise
IDE RAID Controller after XP has been installed without

it. Thanks in
advance for any help.
