The RAID card should have instructions to make the ARRAY but you must not partition or format. Let Windows do that!
Most RAID cards need drivers during the install. Since you didn't reveal which RAID card, I pause here.
I am trying to install Windows 7 on a pc with a raid card and four hard drives. I formatted the drives, but the OQ setup does not recognize them to install to. Suggestions?
