Please excuse any spelling or grammar errors, as I am extremely tired from spending 11 hours building a computer that has been in the works for months. Before I boot everything up, I need a question answered that is bugging me. First of all, here is my hardware:
MSI Neo2 Platinum s939
AMD Athlon 3500+ with Swiftech 4600-V
1GB Corsair XMS 3200XL
Western Digital Raptor 74GB
Antec Neopower 480Watt PSU
Samsung Combo Drive
Radeon 9700 Pro
Okay, so here's my problem. I want to use my Raptor as the boot drive but I want to know if Windows will have a problem during the installation because it is a SATA drive. I know that you have to install special drivers for a *RAID Array* but I am not going to be using that drive in a RAID, I'm just using it as a normal boot drive. Does that mean that even though it's the only SATA drive, that I will still need to install the RAID drivers before I install windows? Thanks for any help.
