I've seen something similar.  You might need to make a registry change before connecting the card.
Follow the instructions in this KB article to make sure your registry settings are correct for RAID.

  • Exit all Windows-based programs.
  • Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
  • If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
  • Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV
  • In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
  • In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  • On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
