You could always slipstream the drivers in to a bootable CD with vlite.

Connectors
- One (1) UDMA/133 internal IDE connector
- Two (2) SATA connectors (one internal, one external - eSATA).
- Compatible with Windows
That's probably your chappy. Note however, that one SATA port is internal and one is external, so if you are planning on using it to RAID, one of your disks is going to be outside your case (he says, stating the obvious).
I suspect you'll also find that Vista has drivers for it built in - it does for all the RAID controllers I've thrown at it so far - the Silicon Image and Uli controllers on my old Abit AT8-32x and also the Intel controller on my Asus P5K Deluxe.

er... seems its not supported by default... the cd i've just found it... says "SUPER SOUND MULTIMEDIA" and google finds no direct site:S it has various drivers on the disc which i have scanned thoroughly in the vista installation startup and nothingi NEED those drivers!!!
theres silicon image drivers and the via ones mentioned above on the disc.any links to vista drivers for the above chipset directhex please mate?
EDIT... this has 2 sata drives NOT RAIDed but at both ext3 partitions but one drive has a 24gb vista partition i made on there and its not showing. I don't want to obviously format and loose my data in order to see it mind.I could convert them to ntfs in partition magic i think but surely i should still have the option to format them altogether in vista installation?
oh and no one of the satas isnt external either. both internal with a ide plug aswell for a 2channel ide drive or 2.
