going raid 0. only thing is dont have a floppy drive. didnt think id ever use it for anything but this has proved me wrong. is there any other way of installing the raid drivers on windows install. mobo is evga 680i

ok. the problem now is that on the evga site, the drivers come as a self extracting .exe that installs straight onto a floppy and nlite drivers can only be included as .inf files. what can i do now. thanks guys. appreciate the help

ok, gave up in the end and went and bought a god damn floppy drive from the high street. alright, just finished reinstalling windows and tried my best to setup a raid 0 config, however as is my first time im not sure if ive done this correctly. how can i check if my 2 samsung drives are in raid 0 configuration. they are 160gb drives each but my c drive is showing as 300gb. shouldnt it be 150ish if its in raid 0. sorry if im being thick, how can i check

no, i was after raid 0. have to be honest though. havent seen much of a change from when i wasnt in raid. thought id see a big difference. using hd tach, used to get average of 50mb/s and now getting 70ish. pretty crap isnt it?

i dont understand why if 2 drives each of 160gb in size are put into raid 0 together that my c drive is showing up as 300gb not 150ish as in one drives worth, i thought raid 0 meant that exactly the same data existed on both drives
