Fresh installing Dell 9100... do I need RAID stuff?



Hi!

I have a Dimension 9100 and want to do a fresh install of XP. The only
disc I can create is the Dell OS Recovery CD. I've read in lotsa
places about needing to press F6 on installing XP to select a RAID
disc or something. All I know is that I have the following:

320GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Stripe [2x160GB 7200rpm ]

I want XP to have just one HD shown (C as it currently is. Do I need
to make some kinda disc for this setup? Also, a side note, I have
something called the Intel Matrix Storage Manager that shows up after
the BIOS. Do I need to manually install this after XP or is it
built-in to the BIOS? Thank you so much.
