How to install new SATA drives for RAID 0?
I'm building a new system. I just got 2 Maxtor SATA hard drives. I
will be installing WinXP as OS. Do I need to format and partion the hard drives with the Maxtor-supplied CD before I start the XP/RAID 0 installation? Or will XP see that they're not formatted or partioned and do it first before loading RAID drivers? ( I have RAID drivers on floppy that came with mobo, Intel D865PERL). I plan not to partion them, just one big C drive. (I have the CD-RWs already installed and BIOS sees them). |

all you do is install the raid drivers when windows tell you to and it will
do it automatically... follow the prompts... i got 2 seagate SATA drives on raid 0 and it`s killer... Brad... wrote in message ... I'm building a new system. I just got 2 Maxtor SATA hard drives.

but I'm all set.
