I was able to set up a RAID 5 while installing windows Vista. I then loaded the Nvidia drivers and I started to get a red "degraded" warning in both the BIOS during boot up and when I click on the Storage tab in my Nvidia control panel. In the pic below it shows two drive shouldn't there be three? I checked all the plugs and the seem to be in order. I am wondering if it was a Nvidia driver issue and if it were would I be able to load up the windows drivers at this point?

I created the RAID in the BIOS then I loaded the Nvidia drivers. I tried plugging the drives in other ports and I ended up with a whole other RAID So I decided to go into the BIOS and remake the RAID which then dumped the OS so I had to start over. I wont get into the details but during the second installation I discovered the bone head maneuver that I pulled and now all is well.

I screwed up the first loading of the RAID drivers by rebooting after I had what I thought was a lockup. The second time when I got to the dark screen with the blinking cursor I just played a few rounds of Lego Star Wars with my son. After letting that run its way through there were several options in the storage tab that weren't there before and all three drives were revealed.
