getting RAID5 to work in windows

Hello all. I am setting up a server which will have a RAID configuration. I am setting up the O/S as a mirror with 2 of the same disks. I am also configuring RAID5 for the data with 3 of the same disks.

I've setup the RAID configuration as shown in these pictures:

When detecting the drives in Windows setup or a 3rd party program (ghost, partition magic, etc) it detects the RAID properly (at least, as far as I can tell):

However, when you load up windows server it only shows the mirror as a RAID config and the RAID5 doesn't show up at all. It just shows as 3 individual hard drives:

Partition Manager in Windows

Device Manager

Am I missing something?

EDIT: I forgot to tell you what board I'm using. It's an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe.

    Nevermind, I got it going now. Turns out reinstalling the NVDIDIA chipset drivers did the trick.
