RAID advice please

[BubbySoup]

Never dabbled in RAID before, so would like some advice please.

Can find plenty of advice on how to set up RAID0 from scratch, but not much clear info on how to do it as a 2nd drive once Windows 7 is installed.

Is it simply a case of going into disk management and combining the 2 drives, specifiy the type of raid you want, and then formatting them for Windows to pick up as one volume?

Thanks for this, and yes I do want to use my motherboard's controller.

Hmm, are you saying I need to do a reinstall of my OS in that case?

Seems a bit of a potch

Ok thanks for the confirmation. Guess I need to get busy then.
