This might be a stupid question, but has the RAID been setup in the
FastTrack BIOS?  I think by default, if you just pop the card in and hook
up 4 drives, you'll see 4 drives, unless you go into it's config utility
and define an array.

If this has already been done, you might go back into it and make sure
that it's still there.
