No where on the website does it say that this motherboard has RAID. You will have to setup software RAID available in Windows Vista. You don't need any drivers to setup RAID in Vista.
Unfortunately his PC has a budget grade low quality motherboard, so it will be lacking in features. You will have to setup software RAID. However, if I were you I wouldn't bother. You will be better off running the drives separately. Software RAID is slow, and RAID for two drives is usually not beneficial (especially avoid RAID 0).
