Wanting to setup RAID 0 with clean install of Windows 8

Hi guys,

I have two OCZ Vertex2 SSD's I'd like in RAID.

I have set them to this in the BIOS and I am then going to install Windows 8. When I'm asked where I want to install Windows 8 I have the option of either drive, is this where I should 'Load Driver' and install the specific RAID array software?

If so what software do I need? My mobo is this: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO/#support_Download_36

Many thanks

Ah I see, so I could in theory setup the RAID in 7 prior to installing a fresh copy of 8? Do i need specific drivers to do this?

Yeah it was CTRL+F, I'm in the setup now, I have the option to secure erase which I did want to do on both drives.

Nothing is standing out how to RAID them mind at the mo or maybe it will do it automatically?

Hmmm, assignment is set to single drive on each one. Can't see an option to create a raid. I'll make sure BIOS is correct
