Quick OS on RAID0 question

[Wryel]

This is how I'm seeing it:

Set up striping in RAID BIOS - shows as about 600gig (2xWD 320GB)

Install XP - 127GB partition only

Update windows and use diskpart

Is it that simple? I tried to install windows but it looked like it was seeing two drives still, both with 127GB partitions? I don't want to install windows on one of the drives!

Any help would be appreciated

Yeah I think I messed up, all I need to do now is get the right RAID drivers on a floppy. I copied over the XP folders from the RAID folder of my nVidia CD that came with the mobo but it complained of not finding txtsetup.oem, even though there were two copies on the disk! Is there a particular way of providing the drivers?

That makes sense but I'm not sure if the RAID drivers are correct as I am still seeing two drives of 127GB, but rpstewart said there should be only one, which rang alarm bells for me when I first saw it.

The mobo manufacturer doesn't provide much help - as its an nForce3 chipset can I find a floppy disk creator through them? All I've found so far is the chipset driver.

thanks for all the help so far guys.
