Jaak,
Will do. I'm going to grab another hard drive to preserve my existing image but I'm more than willing to help out.
I'll post results this weekend.
Thanks!

I have the Alienware version of the same laptop; D900T w/ the 378 controller.
After struggling mightily to get XP reinstalled without a USB floppy I finally found a solution.
1) Used an XP SP2 CD
2) Downloaded MassStorage 7.09.2
3) Followed the tutorial to integrate the MassStorage 7.09.2 driver *only* into XP SP2 install files
4) Used Nlite to create ISO
5) Burned with Deepburner
6) With the 378 in *ATA mode* went through XP set up
7) Let it reboot once and BSOD
8) In BIOS enabled *RAID mode*
9) Hit CTRL-F and created an array in auto-mode being careful *not* to initialize disk
10) Saved changes, rebooted and voila
