First off software raid is a feature in the server product not the pro product. I think what you mean is how to install XP to a hardware raid set. But you don't mention having a ide raid capable card. If the promise card you mention is raid capable, the manual will tell you how to setup the hardware so the raid array boots. Once it boots its just a matter of installing the OS.
