Create the RAID array first of all. During the ten seconds of Windows
installation you will be prompted to press F6 to add SCSI or RAID drivers.
Copy the Silicon Image SATA drivers from the driver CD to the floppy. Omit
any .pdf files, if present. Insert the floppy when prompted. Now Windows can
see your hard drive(s).
