I'm planning on using RAID 1 with my new setup and I need a little help. I'm using an EVGA 780i SLI motherboard and the BIOS options only list RAID 0, RAID 0+1, and All Enabled. I need just RAID 1, though. Do I set my RAID settings after I save the BIOS settings and restart or do I do it in BIOS? Thanks. (By the way, I'm planning on installing Windows Vista Ultimate.)

if you have 0 +1 then you have just 1,

enable the drives in too raid in the mobo bios, then create the raid with the raid utlity

raid1 will be an option
