RAID 0 setup

[Guest]

I just build a new computer and need to re-install Windows XP pro. I have 2
pcs 160Gb SATA hard drive and want to set them up to RAID 0. I am new to
RAID. Should I set it up at the beginning of the Windows installation? Or
should I do it after finish the Windows installation? Thanks, Wilson Chu

And make sure you have the drivers for the RAID controller available on floppy. That way, when you boot to your Windows installation CD, you can press F6 when prompted to load the RAID drivers. Otherwise, the Windows installer will not detect any hard drives in your system.
