Hi msjohnston81, When you go into the controller it shows both virtual disks correct and they are both optimal with no offline drives? Are you installing straight from the OS disk or are you going to the lifecycle controller, F10 during POST, and choosing OS deployment? That method will preload the drivers so that you don’t need to manually load them. If that doesn’t work to see the RAID 1 try deleting the RAID 5 and see if it sees it then and create the RAID 5 after the OS install.  Here is a whitepaper that explains the process of install the OS with the lifecycle controller. en.community.dell.com/.../download.aspx
I am trying to install Windows on a RAID 1 mirror I setup and after loading the driver I do not see the RAID1 VD, However I do see the RAID 5 VD that I also created.   Please help as to why I can not see the mirrored RAID 1 Disk   Service tag # is XXXXXXX
