Hi,
I'm having trouble installing Windows Vista x64 on a RAID. (seems simple enough)
Here's the hardware I using: Abit IP35-e and two Segate 250GB SATA hard drives.
I have installed Windows on a RAID before (on a previous computer) by simply pressing F10, setting the stripe size, and then I installed windows after specifying the RAID driver. On my current motherboard, I cannot find the menu that lets you specify the stipe size. I tried installing Windows Vista x64, but when setup gets to the menu that lets you specify the driver you want to use, it does not recoginze the drivers on the CD supplied with the IP35-e motherboard. So I uncheck the box that says "recognized drivers" (or whatever it says) and I select all the driver files located in the SATARAID/INTEL/Vista64 directory, but the two hard drives will not merge into one biggin'! (Yes I know, I have serious issues) Will you please help me?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the IP35-e did not have RAID capabilities.

Vista Home Premium was billed as the XP Professional replacement for most consumers.

However; it is a downgrade for many, and is stripped down from what XP Pro had.. My parents for example could no longer RDP in to their home computer to check home email, play with TiVo recordings, etc.

The ntbackup software in Vista is horrible shitty compared to the XP Pro version where you could select specificaly files and directories to backup.

I'm not sure, and I'm too lazy to google, but I'm pretty sure Vista Home Premium also removed Dynamic Volume support for software RAID solutions.
