You'll need to clean install Windows, so backup anything of importance 1st and download the latest RAID drivers from the ASUS Support Site, extract them to a USB stick. Reboot and get into BIOS, set your SATA ports to RAID then save and reboot again. Spam hit F6 until you are presented with the RAID menu and set up your 2 RAID arrays. From there, install Windows and you should* be good to go, but, keep that USB stick plugged in still, just in case Windows throws a hissy fit and can't load the right RAID drivers..at least you'll be ready for that eventuality.
