Default Installing XP: Setup did not find any hard discs installed

Hello forumers,
I have an HP dv9740ca notebook with vista installed on it. I also have windows xp that i want to put on there.

When i try to install the xp (which is legitimate, before the question comes up), i get a message saying 'Setup did not find any hard discs installed on your system'. I'm told this is because the notebook has two hard drives in raid, and the setup can't find the raid driver. The issue is HP doesn't make the driver for xp, i called them and they basically told me to shut up and enjoy my vista. Also, because the machine is an HP i can't do anything in the BIOS that may help.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how i could install XP on this machine? :S
