If only a single hard drive, you are very hard pressed to configure RAID anything - oh wait, you can't RAID with one HDD, you'll need two identical drives to configure RAID.
Take the HDD off RAID settings. This article explains RAID in a "nutshell"

Hope it helps

I would do the install on the HDD as though it is the only (no raid configured) hard drive, then add the SSD - when the drivers are loaded, Intel Smart Response Tech thingy should pop up with options...
my understanding anyway

Is the problem you're having in setting up the RAID, prior to setting up the caching? Make sure you have the hard drives plugged into the right SATA ports for RAID? You've got the OS successfully installed or it said there was an error and you didn't?

Boot up windows from the SSD, which you said installed successfully- and then insert the windows disc... Choose a fresh install option, make sure you install it on the HDD and continue. Then change your bios to boot from the HDD.
