How do you setup a raid 0 array from boot without the use of another hard drive. In the FAQ it states that you can install the drivers via diskette when loading your operation system, but then it won't let you select your cluster size. The other option is to install windows without the raid and then reset it, did i understand that right? I got confused at about that point, any help would be appriciated system spects below:
2 identicle 160 gig wd se ata 100 drives (blank as of now)
raid 0 setup, card is something from silicon i think (can't remember).
I will be installing xp pro or 2000pro (most likely) but for whatever reason my 2000pro disk seems to only work if its used to upgrade from a previous system, so with this option i guess i would have to install 98se first. Although might this work to my advantage, because don't i need to install something first and then setup the cluster size, and then reinstall whatever anyway?. Boy this is confusing.
Any help would be appriciated, this is my first stab at raid and i'd like to get off to a good start.
