Hey folks, Getting my vintage 2001 PC together. I'm going to be installing a RAID 0 on two 20.1GB WD Hard Drives using a Promise Fasttrak 100 card. I'm using an IDE interface. Which end goes into the drives and which end goes into the RAID Card, the blue or the black?
My question is, do I need to install Windows first in order to get the card working with the proper drivers? Or can I simply plug the drives in to the RAID Card, boot the system & install Windows after I've set up the Array in the BIOS?
I've never set up a RAID array before. Any help would be appreciated.
