I was trying to reinstall windows since my 9860 started acting so funny and wouldnt shut down properly, now windows setup is telling me it cannot find any hard drives on my system and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do.
I tried to delete and recreate a raid array but that didn't help.

I have 2x100G in Raid performance mode. What can I do to setup windows?

Did you hit F6 (IIRC) during the install when asked if you are going to use 3rd party RAID driver?

yes, but that didnt help. maybe cos the 9860 has no floppy drivr for the drivers?

I have a 9880 which comes with a USB floppy drive. I thought the 9860 should have the same.

Hi you have to get yourself a usb floppy drive but be carefull as they are not all compatible, i have a Packard Bell model number PB-UFD100 and that works fine.
When you have your floppy drive download the fastrak raid drivers on to the floppy make sure you can see the txtsetup.oem file when you click on the A drive otherwise windows wont detect it .
Then re-install windows press the f6 key and follow the onscreen instuctions,
all should be well.
You will not be able to install windows untill you do this as windows as you have found will not see the hard drives.
Good luck
