This will probably sound very silly, but forgive me, I'm a noob!
Ok so I realised a while ago I had two old 160GB HDDs lying around, so i decided that to cut costs I would use those in my build. I won't need a lot of space initially, these will just give me 320GB until I can afford a small SSD and a 1TB HDD.
They already have old data on them, so can I format them from the bios before installing windows? I wouldn't have any other means of formatting them.
Also, how do I configure them to RAID0? Can you have your boot drive in RAID0?
They are not the same model of HDD, one is a seagate barracuda and the other is a WD caviar, but they seem to have the exact same specifications; both 7200rpm, 160GB and the same time rating.
