installing Win2k on a multiboot RAID setup

OK, here is where I am at:

I run Win98 on my RAID 0, with a third HD for DATA on IDE 1.

I ran PM, created a new partition for my clean install of 2k.

If I leave my IDE 1 active and boot to the 2k CD, it will go thru the motions and when it comes time to start setting up the OS, I am only given the option to install on the 3rd HD on IDE 1, not my RAID drives.

This was expected.

I disabled IDE 1 and went thru the process again, booting to the 2k CD w/ my new partition set to active.

But, this time, I do not get an option to which partition to install to, although there should be 4 visible partitions on my RAID (The new Active C and my always visible E,F, and G).

It gives me a message aboiut the drive either being NEW or having an incompatable OS on it, but it doesn't read the partitions.

I have been able to install multiple Win98 boots on this array, but I am an absolute newbie to the wonderful world of NT/2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
