I just bought another WD raptor and set them both up on Raid 0 with 32k strip size. Before installing windows I installed the Raid driver as well. And once it asks me which disk to install windows on, it doesn't show that it's one drive on raid 0. It currently shows 2 drives to install windows on. Is it suppose to do that? Because I'm currently installing windows on the first disk... hope I did it right! :eek:

Thanks!!!
 
finished formatting but now it won't boot up using the raid... did I do something wrong here? :confused:

when i go under hard drives in bios it states I have a SCSI-0 NVIDIA STRIPE 138.49GB.

hmm....
 
Yeah it sounds like something's not setup right.

When you used the drivers, did you use the drivers for RAID or a standard controller? Also when you created the array, you did specify both drives as part of the RAID 0 right?
 
im using the nvidia onboard controller and I made sure i enabled it... also installed the nvidia raid controller driver when trying to install windows xp...
 
how about this: delete the RAID array, install winXP on one disk, swap files on both disks and your games on the second one. That would be a much faster setup, just FYI. Putting drives in RAID0 does virtually nothing for performance, it may help bragging rights, but people who know their stuff won't be impressed anymore, sorry.
