Can I boot to a RAID 5 array? I have 5 1.5 TB HDD's, and I'd like to create one RAID 5 array out of them, and boot to that. I have the array all initialized already, and Windows 7 install shows one ~5.8TB drive, but I can't install to that drive... why? Can you not boot on a RAID 5 array?
If I can't do that, what can I do? I have the 5 HDDs as mentioned, and a Asus P6T. I'd like to increase the system performance while also maintaining some level of data security (ie, RAID0 won't work). Is RAID 10 my only shot? I'd prefer to use RAID 5 so I don't lose 2 of the drives, but I can't get it to work on this... any pointers?
