Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Board Driver

I pulled a dumb stunt. When I installed the raid board on an XP/sp2
system, I selected the non-raid driver, which puts a bunch of files
named pnp680.* (inf, sys, cat, etc.) in the system32 folder.

Now windows just won't use the pnp680r (raid) files. Not by hook or
crook.

I went into the system32 dir and wiped out anything that had 680 in
the name. Tried rebooting and reinstalling the card.

XP still thinks it's the non-raid version and somehow remembers the
place on my memory stick where it found the drivers the last time, it
insists that it wants the non-raid driver.

If I try overriding and forcing the raid driver, the card won't start
(error message to that effect), yellow question in device mgr., etc.

I know the card works because I tried it on another computer, and
managed to load the correct driver. Further, on the problem machine
the SiI BIOS pops up after the mobo BIOS report.

I've pulled all the other cards except the video. Help! I really
don't want to reinstall XP.

hds in the RAID utility when it posts at every start-up,if youre not seeing
