What raid controller are you using? Intel?

If so, Vista should see the array with no trouble at all. You definitely don't have to mess with master or slave (which doesn't even exist with SATA). If it isn't Intel, you may have to load RAID drivers during the install process, which can be done easily via a USB drive.
