Getting RAID to work on the ASUS Maximus SE

[pacal]

Greetings,

I can't even get my Raid 0 array on the 3x1TB drives to display as Bootable. I upgraded the BIOS from v602 to v802, hoping this illusive "Raid Boot-Rom" option would appear rendering the array Bootable but the option is still nowhere present that I can see.

Other relevant details...
- Running v802 Bios for Maximus Formula (Non-SE)
- IMSM displays the raid array as Bootable: No
- I'm using the latest Intel ICH9R Drivers v7.8.0.1012
- Latest drivers do nothing to make my raid array visible during Vista64 Ultimate setup
- The drives went in straight from the box so they probably haven't been initialized, if that's a prerequisite. If it is, perhaps someone could direct me to a prepackaged boot-img with the utilities and drivers to simplify the task.

Thanks in advance,
Pacal
