Raid Driver help?

I have built a new system, mobo intel D975XBX2, intel 2.66 dual core cpu, 4 gig ram @ 800 mhz, 2 500 gig maxtor SATA hard drives. I have installed XP pro but no other soft yet.

1st question, as the system starts I get a screen that syas:

Marvell 88SE61xx Controller - Bios version 1.1.0.34.
Adapter 1
Arrays Information:
No array is defined!
Disks Information:
No hard disk is detected!
Press + to enter Marvell RAID BIOS Configuration or
Press to continue

Why does this screen say no hard disk is detected?
I tried Ctrl+M with the Marvell SATA Controller RAID Driver disc in the floppy drive but it comes back with a message "not a system disc".

2nd question, what is RAID? Do I want to install it? Which do I install, I have 2 disc that came with the mobo, 1 says Intel Matrix Storage Technology RAID Driver, and the other says Marvell SATA Controller RAID Driver. I don't understand the RAID system.

Any help and direction would be great!
