Anyway I go to my device manager and everything and it's reading the 2nd HD and all, but I was wondering what kind of RAID im running, I just installed windows with out seting up the drivers from MSI because that error. But is the Harddrive just like sitting in my case in use but not doing anything?

Take a look at these screenshots of what it is saying for my harddrives- How can I enable the 2nd one with out doing the RAID Driver Floppy...because that just won't work.

Right now it apears as though you have the drive all in and working good, I assume you can write to it and read data off of it, so it's in there now as just a second harddrive. I also assume that you want raid to work on that drive. Well as far as I know you will have to start over cause you are supposed to start out with 2 blank drives, so at this point if you enable raid you may wipe out the drive already loaded with windows or else you just wont get a true backup of the boot drive. What you have to do was enter the raid BIOS which you should see at the begining whan the raid controller is detecting the drives connected to it and go in there and enable RAID. It's not the F6 thing of loading the raid drivers that you are referring to, but actually entering the raid BIOS and setting RAID up to work as you desire it to. Hope this made sense, but right now you are not hurting anything that other drive can just be used for doing a windows backup if U want. I did that with my spare drive by right clicking c:drive after opening MyComputer, then properties and at the bottom of the window where you can do error checking, defragging in the middle, and windows backups at the bottom.

Yeah. I did all of that. I went into RAID BIOS, and set up Stripping (what I wanted), and all of that. Just like the manual says, then I followed step by step as the manual says...and after I setup my RAID BIOS, I go into the Windows Setup and do the F6 thing, and It sees my floppy drive, and all that, it can upload the Controller, but when I try to upload the Drivers, it gives me that Error.

Are you certain you have the correct drivers??
