Strange issue with my new RAID setup. Hardware wise everything works. The bios setup the RAID correctly and Windows installed fine. But here is the problem... Windows keeps wanting to install the "NVRAID Class Device Setup" but errors out since "Name is already in use as either a service name or service display name".

Looking at it closer the driver is already installed and working fine. Everything in Windows works great. But it keeps telling me it can't install the device because its already there. Well duh Windows you can't install two drivers for the same device. Its strange since you don't see Windows asking to install something that already installed very often. So two drives in RAID work fine but the hardware detection in Windows is not working correctly.

My question... Has anyone seen this before? Whats the fix? or What would you try to fix it?

I'm on a NForce 4 using the onboard controller using Strip.
 
Are the nVidia RAID drivers slipstreamed into Windows XP?

What version of drivers are you using?
 
When I installed windows XP I installed just the drivers on the floppy that came with the motherboard. After I got into Windows and started having this problem I upgraded to the newest drivers online.

EDIT:
Sometimes like this... Other times each has a warning icon.
