Okay guys, I'm taking the plunge and getting a second HDD, because my PC is feeling slower than it used to so I'm giving it a fresh vista install. So I thought I will set up RAID 0 and kill 2 birds with one stone

So basically, would someone be able to give me a step-by-step for how to set up a RAID 0 system, because I am a dummy and never have done it before.
 
Setup will be 2x500's in RAID 0 and an external 250Gb USB drive for anything important.

Will be perfectly safe for me, but I just don't know how to set it up :(

Depending on your MB, usually there is a key to press (F10?) after the PC POSTs. In there will be the menu to config your RAID, i.e pick the disks to RAID and what type of RAID. Is there no manual with you MB or one you can download from the manufacturer site as they usually go through this.:confused:
Click to expand...

I can't find the manual :p
 
Well.. the manual says you need a floppy with RAID drivers.

My PC has no floppy drive........................ :eek:

Are they on the Vista DVD or something?
 
Can someone point me in the direction of which drivers I need for RAID 0 on 64 bit Vista Home Premium? :confused:

Also do I have this right:

1, Go into BIOS
2, Set both HDD's as RAID
3, Start installing windows
4, Install drivers when prompted
5, continue as normal?

I can't find any good guides on the google :(

I also don't want to do it half-baked and then not get any real bonus out of it :\
