Not exactly.

1)  Again, installing the driver beforehand _might_ work, especially
if you take the 3Ware .SYS file, copy it as C:\NTBOOTDD.SYS

2)  Alternatively, you can install a "helper NT5+ install" (in an
alternate directory on the new 3Ware volume as C:), read through it's
registry (I can't remember the 3 keys set for the boot device, read
through MSDN articles), then boot the Linux NT Password
Recovery/Registry Editor CD and manually edit the registry to match.

I've done this #2 personally.
