I've used them with NT before.  Let me get this straight, you have three
physical devices on the RAID controller, with one configured to run solo
and the other two configured to be a RAID array?

If this is correct, then you should only see sda and sdb in your
system.  sda would be the solo device and sdb would be the other two
devices combined.  

This raid controller (as many others) will present to the OS some number
of logical drives that is not necessarily equal to the number of physical
drives, but to the OS, they will appear to be physical.  For this reason,
you need to be certain of your RAID controller's configuration.
