Setting up RAID

[BigAndy]

Hi guy's!

Can anyone help me to set up my drives for RAID???

I have 2 drives:

HDD 1: Western Digital WD2000JS 200GB

HDD 2: Western Digital WD2000JD 200GB

I was reading about it on web, but not quite sure i will manage it my self, so if anyone have some spare time to help me, you are more then welcome .

I have DFI Expert board.

Cheers

P.S. If i have correct info then drives in RAID configuration will give better results in benches, will it?

You have to do a full re-install of windows.

Enable RAID in the BIOS - presiing F10 when prompted and adding the two drive the the RAID configuration- select striped and default stripe size.

Now start the re-install of windows.

Pressing F6 when prompted during the first stages of the windows installation - making sure you have the RAID driver floppy at hand - the rest is self explanatory.

It's easy but there are a few extra steps that you have to do for it to work properly.

Dont forget people we need any score entries for 32m superpi

the 2 drives you want to raid need completely formatting... so you lose all data on those drives
