Installing XP on RAID 0

[Schnippzle]

Hey guys,

Being a bit a n00b when it comes to RAID I thought Id be better off asking here before doing anything silly.

Basically, ordering my second Raptor today so I can have two in RAID 0 as its apparently the fastest on a budget (correct me if Im wrong). What I need to know though is, how do I set up this RAID array and then install XP on it to then upgrade to Vista?

Any help and sugestions would be much appreciated

Mobo is an Asus P5K

You'll have a walkthrough on your motherboard manual as to the exact steps of setting up a RAID array.

Remember - you lose any data you have on your existing drive as a result of the array being created, so back up first.

Also remember to enable RAID on the two drives before you start - otherwise they won't appear as an option to create one.

Have got the 1st drive sitting next to me Have been toying with the idea of getting another drive instead of installing just the one and now I have a bit of spare cash so I thought why not

Will study my mobo manual.

Cheers.
