After a dead-hd replacement (I dread hearing hard drives start to click), I have finally got XP and Longhorn to cooperate.  Longhorn still doesn't seem to like the RAID, but at least I can have XP on the RAID and Longhorn on a normal drive.  The trick is install XP first, install Longhorn, then boot off of the XP CD.  Run the recovery console off the CD, and “FIXMBR“, “FIXBOOT”, and “BOOTCFG /rebuild“, adding the XP install back to the boot menu.  All should be well at this point!

For reference, a full list of recovery console commands is available here. Now I can play with cool longhorn effects again (albeit through a dual-boot).
