Z77X-UD5H want Raid1 on Marvell Controller. Can I get it after Win 7 installed?

I have a GA-Z77X-UD5H with a i5 3570 Intel CPU; the OS (win 7 64) is installed on an SSD.  Post installation of the OS, I wanted to set up a secondary drive as a RAID1 drive built from two terrabyte WDC drives.

The instruction manual walks you through setting up the RAID drive, then tells you to install the OS.  I thought that was just if you wanted the raided drive to host the OS, but only following the instructions through the BIOS and Marvell Controller changes doesn't give me a drive that I can see in windows explorer.

Am I right that I don't have to reinstall windows?  Am I missing something in setting up the RAID drive?

Is the Marvell driver install in windows. Plus why you might not see it is that it isn't setup as a drive to you format it.

Go into control panel / administrative tools / computer management / storage / disk management.
