There are many tools you can use to install RAID stuff. For example Hirens Boot CD http://www.hirensbootcd.net/details/10.2.html - the download may be broken but google it and you should find it quickly.

Also if you need to boot from a USB then try UNetbooin or some of the tools mentioned on the site.
This should help to install RAID there are many tools on here. What kind of fussy os has to use SATA dvd drives anyway.
