You'll need to download and create the floppy disk with the correct drivers for your raid controller.

When installing XP, you'll see it prompt for "F6 to load other drivers"... something like that anyway, I don't remember the exact words. Hit F6 and the setup will keep going. It will stop eventually and ask you to load 3rd party drivers. With the floppy disk in the floppy drive, you should be able to select the driver from the disk for the RAID controller, then continue on with the setup.

Contact Dell tech support if you have any trouble. They can also point you to the correct driver for your controller.
