I am booting from sata 74gb rapto, and have a 80gb on primary ide 1.

Do I need to reformat and install raid drivers, as I think something isnt working properly
 
If you've been booting from the SATA drive then you must already have the SATA drivers installed, which usually include RAID drivers.
If you're asking about installing the OS to the SATA drive for the first time, then yes, you need to install the RAID drivers during setup. You don't have to use RAID, but the drivers are needed to access the disk.
 
I didn't install any raid drivers on os install of xp pro to the 1st booting 74gb raptor.

the raptor is on D: and my old 80gb is on c: still, although the pc boots on the raptor, is this funky?
 
Funky that the boot drive is D:? No, that's fine.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but that's kind of how my system is set up. The primary partition on my IDE drive shows up as C:, but all of Windows XP is on my SATA, which is labeled D:.
I guess Windows makes its own sense of it all, because it works.
