Comments/Problems:
Well my problem is that the system do not support Raid on the installation
cd, I have drivers for the raid, but do not know how to install the driver
(raid driver) at boot time. So my system fails every time it looks for the
disks when it wants to install or look at the partition.

I see that you used the Sarge version of the installer. With your
hardware, you should really use the Etch version of the installer instead
as it has a newer kernel that should support your hardware better.
You can get the Etch version of the installer from [1].
However, that will not solve your problem with the BIOS RAID setup. The
installer currently does not support that.
Linux itself should using the dmraid package, but support for this has so
far not been implemented in the installer.
As Douglas already said, using the software RAID option available inside
linux is generally considered the better option anyway, but that does not
help you much if you already have Windows on BIOS RAID and would like to
keep that.
As this is a known issue, I am closing your installation report. Thank you
very much for submitting it.
Cheers,
FJP
