I appreciate the suggestion. Based upon your input I may try. I agree it is
nVidia's responsibility for the drivers, not Microsoft's.

I did not contact them for two reasons:
1) I have never had even "fair" tech support, let alone "good" from a
third-party vendor
2) I am left with the impression from using nVidia's Web site that they are
NOT helpful. Witness the lack of substantive material of almost any type.
Contrast that with ATI, who again is not particularly helpful, but whose Web
site is far more informative. The thought being, "gosh, if ATI is this
unhelpful and their Web site actually pretends to be kinda helpful, just
imagine how bad it must be with nVidia."

I do not believe that NVIDIA will produce SATA RAID drivers for Windows
Vista until they have a copy of the RTM. Probably upon release of Vista then
NVIDIA will release a driver.
