i cant figure how to raid0!!

[infernal]

okay, so i feel kinda dumb posting this but i am just stumped!

i want raid0 on my 2 wd caviar 250 gig drives but i have no idea how to do it!

i have no idea how to get to any raid configuration screen on my abit quadgt board that has a phoenix bios.

i have tried changing device settings in my bios to use raid but i dont know what im doing wrong.

i also dont have a floppy drive, but should be able to borrow a usb one if neccessary.

Any help i would appreciate!

Thanks,
Russ.

ive read through the manual a couple of times but cant find anything on raid

http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/uk/dow...ITLE_ON_SCREEN=AB9+QuadGT&pSOCKET_TYPE=LGA775

im not too bothered about the data on the dives, cause its a new build i only have my os on it at the mo!

raid0 seems to be the choice for plenty of people as i have been told of it being a faster performer in writing data compated to single drives.

there is also some stats on the matter in an issue of micromart i read a while ago.

it's just for the life of me i cant get to the raid config screen

i guess ill have to carry on trying!!

thanks for your help so far guys ill no doubt be asking again shortly!!

ahh wow, thanks for puttin so much effort into helping me man! as soon as i get home i think ill be trying that!!
then tomorrow my tuniq tower and extra fans should come, then i can start oc'ing properly

i agree though with you there, the manual i got is pretty dire to say the least.

ill keep you posted as to what happens

im still having a massive problem with configuring my hdd's to run in raid. i just have no idea how to get to the raid config screen at all.

has anyone with an ab9 or a quadgt set up a raid0?

on the ab9 pro board apparently you have to install some software by intel and it enables the raid configuration option.

does this sound right to you guys?

yeah, on my mobo it says to enable raid support on the ide controller, which i have done. but on the abit forum people have said quadgt owners need to flash their bios' with a newer bios revision to enable the raid config menu where you press ctrl + i to access the options.
