Thanks in advance,
Jules

Who is your motherboard's manufacturer, and what is the model number of it?

MSI's site is a little convoluted. I managed to find
THIS page on their site that consists of multiple drivers for that mainboard.
Make sure you download the appropriate RAID driver for your chipset. I see Silicon Image 3531 RAID (nForce 650i) and nVidia MCP51 RAID (nForce 430i) drivers.
If you are not sure which one you may have,
CPUZ may help reveal that information.
