OptikaliLLusion Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Alright, so on my Christmas list I put another 80GB SATA 7200RPM Hitachi drive, so that I can RAID it with my current drive and have a nice, speedy, large space setup. But I've heard that RAID 0 is evil to set up. Can someone give me a comprehensive guide on how to quickly but properly set up my system for RAID, so that there aren't any hitches during install (Windows XP Home Edition Slipstreamed SP2)? Specs in sig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Its not really a pain. I find the worst part about getting RAID 0 to setup is the driver installation, in that I create the floppy disk, but sometimes you need to have the drivers within a subfolder or maybe just on the root of the floppy. Usually a quick read through the readme file will tell you exaxtly how to put the drivers on the floppy. Otherwise I believe Fxxp made a tutorial on how to setup RAID 0 in one of the forums. I don't believe it ever got to sticky status but just do a search to find your answer as this question is so redundant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imm0rt41 Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 For me it was a pain in the arse, but from what I have heard, people don't have many problems installing it. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 The main thing is to make sure you have your bios configured properly for it and you have your raid set built before you set up the drivers and your o/s install. The dfi manual is pretty vague on how to set the bios for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolar Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 not a pain at all, but do some google searches to do decide if you really want it. Anandtech and some others did some interesting studies about the efficacy of raid 0 on non-server systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
