Sata Raid0 FC4

First of all, i posed this in the hardware section, but I'll reiterate myself here, please for the sake of the thread only post replys at the thread in this link:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=134901

I have a problem. I'd like to begin to experiment with fedora core 4, but im missing the command to achieve what i need. Now, i have the FC4 install CDs, my problem exists as such: I have a GA7NNXP mobo with 2 WD SATA Raptors in Raid 0 by the onboard raid controller (70gb) and an 80gb Segate, its a common knowledge that you install windows first, then linux. Windows places the boot file on drive c: and to dual boot you have to use a boot loader like lilo or grub. Now when you install windows you have to press F6 for third party raid drivers for the raid controller and it splices the two drives to one, which on my system is then partitioned to a 10gb (windows) NTFS partition and a 60gb (games) NTFS partition; the segate is then further divided to a 70gb (storage) NTFS and what i would like to be a 10gb FC4 partition (?xfs?). The partitions get created fine and the install is great, but i cannot find the command to install 3rd party raid drivers for FC4 for the raid, or even the drivers themselves; so i end up being unable to boot to the windows once FC4 loads because the boot loader cant see anything but two serial drives and a segate.

Two things i know:
a.) i can reconfigure the bootloader for windows and get back to booting to windows, but that isnt my problem.
b.)i could move the boot file to the 70gb storage partition on the segate and pull off the dual boot just fine, this does not satisfy my curiosity.

I'm not a big linux user so i have my doubts in my ability to do a command line install, as well as i dont really know what sizes to make root and bin var etc ... any help locationg the drivers or heads up hints on some install tips will be appriciated!
