New i7 Build Raid help

[mattyg]

Hiya Folks,

Just back from overclockers and the other mob(SSD from the dark side)

I now have all the components for my new shiney i7 build.

I have never done raid before so thats where I'm stuck.

I have a 60gb vertex ssd and two 1000gb F1 wanted 320gb but wasnt concentrating hard enough when He did my order, back home and there the big ones.

What my plan was/is.
Using the ssd for OS (windows7) and then the F1's for apps games etc.

So after I put it all together(I've done that bit 5-6 times in the past) where do i start with raid.



In the words of penelope pitstop HHaaaeeellp.

Cheers
Matt

ok I have got windows 7 installed on the vertex. and I have set up raid on the two f1's Bios sees them but windows doesnt.

There is a section in the motherboard (ud5)manual regarding a floppy for the drivers but I dont have a floppy drive.

What's my next step

Cheers

Hiya Folks,

I may have sorted it,

I have Raid set up bios recognises it as "Performance"

I have formated it as a simple format and It shows as one big drive.

Is this right??

So far very happy windows boots in 20 secs from the start of the loading windows screen (And with 9 digit password). OCZ Vertex

I'm also having a little troubl with MS office accounting that i have on my xp HDD. If I try to boot off my XP 32 bit it BSOD with a session3 initialization failure.

It wont let me open existing business as it was created on another pc.

I'm thinking the only way round this at the moment is to buy another PSU and build up my old system and run that for my accounting software as I cant move over the programs to windows7.
