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.)
enable the drives in too raid in the mobo bios, then create the raid with the raid utlity
raid1 will be an option
