Installing Windows 7 on a new Raid 0

[glock19er]

Hello. I need some advice on installing Windows 7 on a Raid 0 using 2 Velociraptors. The raid already has XP on them but I want to erase the raid and install a new copy of Windows 7.

Do I go into bios and delete raid first? I know that will erase everything on the hard drives. After I delete the raid I create another raid and then set it up in the bios to boot from cd and then put in the Windows 7 cd and choose the new raid?

Thanks for any help and information.
