I have an Asus board with the same kind of controller. You can accomplish the RAID config in the BIOS (=hardware) or by installing the nVidia s/w from your mobo's CD. I think you may have the latter, but I could be wrong... it's been awhile.

DriveDetect is working for me, and it shows my pair of ST3500320AS 500gig drives. Mind you, I'm just using RAID 0.

I've decided I'm just going to buy an external 1TB drive tomorrow for backing up. I'm not powering this computer down for fear of losing the Seagates when it boots up.

And I'm sure I'll be choosing Western Digital this time.
