Ok, I am about to setup Raid 0 with my onboard raid controller and 2 40gig western digital 7200 ATA100 hard drives. I just have a few question that i know most anyone who has setup raid could tell me. Ok.. before i put the drives on raid what should i do to them.. do they need to have any partitions at all (even primary dos partition?) or do i delete every single partition off? I had this problem last time.. I setup the drives and setup the raid bios and when the computer booted and detected the raid array it saied it was 76gig.. normal.. but when i went in fdisk and put a partition and formated the drive it only formated as a 10gig! Whats up with that? I think i may have not taked my old fat32 partition and files off one of the drives first.. is that what did it? And the other question is when i go to install windows xp do i need to do that thing where i press F5 while its loading the setup and install a raid driver, or will it do it by itself? If i do.. could someone send me a link to the correct raid driver.. i have the Asus A7V266-E with the onboard Promise Raid.. the Lite thing. Thanks!!
