I'm trying to set up a RAID 0 array from two 250Gb SATA drives; because the higher data transfer rate seems very desirable (obviously.)
I have followed the instructions in the manual and created a stripped array.
I then booted into Vista which is loaded onto a third drive and apparently I need to initialise the drives before i can load XP onto the RAID array.
This leads me onto a few questions:
I think thats it, I'd greatly appreciate any help

This leads me onto a few questions:
Do I need to initialise the drives first in vista then boot up the XP setup or should I do this during the XP setup?
- When in Vista disk management it says that the two discs are one; however it is appearing as a 500Gb drive, should this happen?I assumed that you used two drives but only got the storage capacity of one?
- Can I get the third party RAID drivers off the drive not in the array which is loaded with Vista and so accordingly has the 680i chipset drivers on there, or do i have to burn a disc with the drivers?
I think thats it, I'd greatly appreciate any help
