I downloaded the intel raid drivers, but am not sure how to install the drivers. Is this done at OS install or can I use the drivers on an existing system? Also, are these the best drivers to use? BTW, I have 2 750GB drives. Both are the same and they are connected to a SATA card (I am using all the connections on my M/B) I am using Win7-64.
 
Just install the latest 64 bit drivers. Yes you can add them to an existing system.

Edit:

Intel does not make SATA cards. Does it? In this case download the drivers for the SATA card.


Edit2:

Do you want to move some raid array from a SATA card to the raid on the intel chipset?

If so you most likely will have to copy the data somewhere else and create a new array.
 
The card is not an Intel card and is not a raid card, only extra SATA ports. Is it even possible to create a raid array using this card? I am not planning on using the raid array to boot from.

You won't be able to create an array unless the card is capable and most of the cheapo 20-30 dollar cards aren't capable.
