I've tried deleting the array within the BIOS and then booting the install 
DVD. It sees the four individual drives but does not give me any way of 
recreating it within anaconda. The Firmware RAID tab is empty. 

I'm beginning to think that this card isn't what I'm needing. Can anyone 
recommend a suitable replacement?
