Hey guys.

Well, I just had the glorious moment of ordering something from Newegg. Well, two somethings really. And those two somethings are two Western Digital Raptor drives to put in RAID 0. :D

I just wanted to ask a few questions about this. How exactly do I set a RAID 0 setup up? I have really decided (thanks to some input) that I will reinstall Windows from scratch on these two drives. I'm assuming I should load SATA drivers on a floppy before I start, just in case, right? How do I set up the RAID system before I install XP, and how do I tell the setup of XP to install to both drives?

Also, what power cords do I use for the Raptors (here's an image: click here)? Do I use the SATA power, the molex connector, or both?

Thanks!
 
Thanks, but that's for IDE RAID, and doesn't answer a lot of my questions about drivers and such... I found a guide last night that I read, but I read it at 2 in the morning so I'll probably read it again. If you have any other information, then let me know.
