Silicon Image 3114 RAID controller problems

I've just installed a new Hitachi 250GB SATA drive on my Asus K8N-E Deluxe (NF3 250gb chipset).

I've already used the 2 SATA controllers that are on the mobo and am now using one of the 4 connected through the SI RAID controller.

Going into the BIOS I've tried a number of combinations of the options relating to this drive.

One of them is RAID, SATA or disabled for the Silicon Image controller. There is also a RAID option ROM which I have tried enabling. Doing that causes a number of other options to appear, most relating to which channel to use for RAID (primary master/slave, secondary master/slave, third, forth).

I also tried installing the SI3114 driver on the Asus site. Following that I had 3 BSODs shortly after booting up windows so I uninstalled it. I an see the new HD in the RAID BIOS but not in windows. Device manager shows an unknown, uninstalled piece of hardware but the SI RAID controller is listed under SCSI & RAID.

If any one can suggest how I might get the new HD to work I would greatly appreciate it.
