"I installed Win XP, then the chipset inf file, then I tried the intel application accelerator raid edition, but it could not detect it."
I had this problem with my IC7-G 2 version. I noted that if I did not have the BIOS set to RAID in the intel chipset Raid, that the OS would detect that it was a non-Raid chip and the IAA-R would not install. Once I set the Bios to raid the chip set was correctly indetified by Windows XP and the IAA-R installed. For a while thought I had a bad board.
Hope this helps
