Installing WinXP on RAID0

I'm trying to install WinXP (upgrade version from Win98) onto two SATA harddisks with I've configured as RAID0.

On Win98 the disks work fine when I run the upgrade I obviously have to install some RAID drivers, so I press F6 during setup, at the correct time, and up comes an info screen telling me to insert a disk into the floppy disk drive. Well, first of all I didn't buy nor want to install a fdd in this machine. Secondly, why do they assume everyone still uses floppy. They must know that the motherboard manufacturer, ASUS, supplies CDs.

Anyway, so I copied the files, which I think it is asking for, onto my USB pen drive thing and it then reports an error reading the files.

It asked for txtsetup.oem so I simply copied the root of the Promise directory onto the pen, with that file at root of the pen.

The error it returns is:

Other than not using RAID (as my primary boot drive) what can I do, or more importantly what stupid things have I done to cause this error, lol
