the first one was the way to go, you will need the RAID drivers of your motherboard, you can download them from the mobo's website.
After that, you can use the program "RT Seven Lite" to add those RAID drivers to your Windows installation CD (this guide should be easy to follow: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/145343-slipstream-windows-7-sp1-into-installation-dvd-iso-file.html)

I tried installing from a USB and the system asks for a proper boot device or to insert boot media in selected boot device. As if there is nothing to boot from. I followed these instructions for creating the usb boot media, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/software-tools/a/create-iso-image-file.htm
Shouldn't there be a way to use the CD/DVD drive while in raid mode?

You need to make the partition active on the thumb drive to be able to boot from it... you can do this from an Elevated Command Prompt (Administrator mode) using Diskpart.
Open the Command Prompt by right clicking and selecting Run as Admin then type the following commands (make sure there is no info on the USB stick you want to keep)
diskpart
list disk
select disk # (replace # with the number of the thumb drive in the list)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit
after that, you can copy the contents of the ISO file to the drive and it will be a bootable windows installation media
