Raid 1 on W7

[_SBradley_]

If you have a spare drive it might be better booting from that, I use an old HD through e-sata with Win7 and my tools on, that way my main install won't get messed about with missing/redetecting drives.

That's a good idea. I also just stumbled across BartPE, which seems to be a way of making bootable Windows discs. That seems like it could work for me.

I did have a think, and there's perhaps another alternative for you...Keep the Intel controller in AHCI, and create the RAID1 through Windows, disk management, initially it will see it as 2 separate drives and you'll create a mirrored dynamic disk on them.

Ah, I didn't know you could do it like that.

Thanks very much, ChileanLlama, for all the help you've given me recently!
