The raid drivers are on the website..
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=do...1&prod_no=1739 I think that is your motherboard..you can just put these on a CD/DVD to use when installing windows. When you are at the point to choose what drive to install windows on, the raid shouldn't show up until you load the raid drivers.

At the hard drive selection screen you will be able to insert another disc to search/browse for drivers. After you have loaded the drivers the raid should show up...windows will ask you to reinsert the installation disc after you select the raid.

If you are using windows 7 and select "Get latest updates from the web" Or whatever its called exactly it should find the raid drivers. I think the disk has a decent amount of drivers on it already.

yeah, should work.
Keep in mind that the drives are formatted when the raid is created..so it might be helpful to have another computer around incase you run into problems.
