Need to back up my hard drive tonight which is mainly steam (use the back up feature/copy addons on to portable drive).

So I got my winpro7 disc today and order 3x 500gb f3's for RAID 0. Do I remove the old drive (then install as second on over system and reformat?) and connect the 3 drives, turn on and go into the raid section of the bios and should that do what it needs to then I just install win7 on the array?

probably figure it out tomorrow but just looking for advice :)

also the disc that's in there now has to be reformatted as I said above to store backups on. this will go into another computer with a primary drive that needs to be erased and have win 7 home on.

what's the best procejure?
 
I would do all non-raid reformatting in gparted. Then remove all disks except for the three you want to set up in raid 0, enter bios and set up raid 0. Then install, then connect old drives back up
