Missing RAID driver

Hello all

I have an Asus P6T WS MB with 2 disks attached.
HD1 is a Samsung SATA 1 000 GB drive
HD2 is a Seagate Cheetah SAS 300 GB drive
In the BIOS setup HD1 is noted as a SATA drive and HD2 as "RAID" drive

I had a problem with booting Windows so I decided to reinstall my Windows 7 64 on HD1.
Everything happened perfectly with one exception.
The device manager shows a "RAID controller" (named as Marvell 88SE63XX/64XX) as not functionning because the driver is missing.
Indeed I can only access C: (HD1) and not HD2 (which I suppose is behind that "raid controller").

I thought that it would be easy to find a "raid controller driver" via Google or the Asus site but it is not.
It may have been on some CD which went with the MB when I bought it
I have no idea what this RAID driver is neither where to find it.
This is a big problem because I need to get some important files from HD2 and can't access it.

Could somebody help me with finding this "RAID driver" ?
Thanks.
 
Thanks for the suggestions.

When following ss202sl suggestion , I download a folder called "Marvell88SE6320SASUtility_XP2003VistaWin72008" (at least as there are 4, I suppose it is this one) .
This folder contains 2 applications :
- Asussetup . This one launches a "Asus Make Disk Utility" which proposes to create a "RAID/AHCI driver disk" .
In the tab "destination" there is written "No device detected" .
So even if I wanted to create a "disk" (why ? I just want to install a driver), I cannot because no possible destination is detected.
- MRUsetup. This one installs an application called "Marvelltray" which doesn't seem to do anything. Actually when I try to open it, it opens a blank Google Chrome page with an adress "https://localhost:8443/MRU/JumpPage.php?Target=LoginPage&reqID=183105" (the https is crossed by a red line) saying "Confidentiality error. Your connection is not private."

When following Phillip Corcoran suggestion, I download a folder called "Marvell88SE61XX_SATA_V12071_XPVistaWin7".
It contains also 2 applications.
- Asussetup which does the same thing as described above.
- drvSetup. This one launches an installer which apparently installs something (a new directory Programm files X86/Marvell appears) . At the end of the process I am asked to reboot what I did. Unfortunately the device manager is still saying that a raid driver is missing. When I try to update the driver manually (right clicking on the raid controller and selecting "update driver") and tell "Look for a driver in Programm files X86/Marvell", he answers that there are no drivers.

So I apparently can't still install the raid controller driver so can't access my SAS HD.
What am I doing wrong ?
