I want to reinstall my OS (XP Pro 32 bit) and I'm wondering whether I'll be able to carry over a RAID 0 setup. The array is just used for storage, with two drives running running on the SiI3114 controller that's integrated into my motherboard (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum). The array was set up in BIOS, so I'm hoping I can just hook the drives back up once I've finished the install and have it run just like it is now. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
You shouldnt have any problems as long as you installing windows on a drive thats not part of the raid. After you install XP youll need to update the drivers again for the raid controller, and you should be all set. I suggest disconnecting the raid array temporarily by pulling the power from them to prevent accidentally formating the wrong drive.

Edit : I have the exact same mobo in my server, nice mobo
 
Great, that was what I was hoping to hear.

Update: Reinstall complete, data intact. Thanks again.
