Tecra M5 RAID Driver

=============================================================== I am working on a Toshiba Tecra M5 laptop with a 80Gig 5400rpm SATA HDD. The drive has lost all but its partition information so I am trying to install WinXP on it once again. I am aware that when Windows setup prompts me to press F6 for RAID driver installation that this is what I must do and when it prompts for location press 's' and give it the location of the driver etc... My problem is that Hitachi and Toshiba both claim that they don't have individual RAID drivers and that a complete recovery CD must be purchased from Toshiba in order to get one. The drive model number is HTS541080G9SA00. I have searched the net and contacted both Hitachi (the makers of the SATA HDD) and Toshiba. I have found a RAID driver for only the Tecra M3s on down but not for anything newer. Does anyone have or know where I can get this driver?????
Thanks,
